Moon cake inflation $60, $80, $100 per box...
#1

I like the very basic traditional simple types with tea.

Now the moon cake become.so fancy and exotic with prices shooting to the moon.

Use to go to JB City Square to buy for around $20 per box or less. But now border closed.

1 mooncake can cost around $10, which is equivalent to 2 dinners in hawker center.

Only goondoos buy and eat.

Lucky never like these stuff since I was a kid. Bloody sweet and sticky that sticks all over your mouth and teeth. Before there was a type with pumpkin seeds, a piece of dried sweet tung kua tng and a piece of pig fat and another type that looks like a small pig in a pig cage. All horrid killer stuff........... vomit

Agreed.  So ridiculously expensive but they will still be people buying.

Expensive also good. Eat less. Very unhealthy, with too much sugar and lard.
