Durian mooncake with free durian mochi.
Only $29++. You dont buy.

Waste your time to go JB to buy the mooncake

I was there 2 weeks ago and saw some aunties each carrying 2 big bags of mooncake. Should be much cheaper than Spore.

It is definitely half the price of Singapore. Moreover, it is very fresh as it sold out fast and very popular shop. I hv yet to try it as my nephew gave me.

I know which shop. The queue at city square is super long. I went to Paradigm and the shop of the same chain has a much shorter queue.

Lavender? I tried mixed nut flavour. S'pore Shangri-la ones are so much tastier. Really is 一分钱一分货
I bought 1 small box of Teochew mooncake from Pekin restaurant for a try. Hope the taste won't disappoint

Is it still relevant in today’s context? The whole mid autumn festival has long lost its meaning. It’s who can afford the most expensive mooncake? Or who can sell the most expensive mooncakes.
