......
Ms Huang, the manager of Oversea Mooncake, told China Press that a Singaporean customer had recently purchased 100 boxes of mooncakes from them.
......
According to Ms Huang, this year’s mooncake sales have been their best ever, with several selling out and even going completely out of stock due to high demand.
......
A Singaporean reportedly told China Press that for the price of a box in Singapore, they can get one or two extra boxes in JB.
......
Another vendor, Mr Shen, who runs the Liumama mooncake stall, noted that sales have gone up by 90% since the pandemic.
There were some mooncakes that even sold out within two hours, so the supply volume had to be increased by 30% on Saturday.

Here those round packaging with 1 yolk $7.30 (4 pcs). Without yolk depends on the colourful words used. 4.50 to 10.50 (4 pcs each). Box one usually expensive.

Actually in Singapore the mooncakes sales are very bad
Many decided to skip because of high prices
After all this is not essential stuff
For business, many cut down on giveaways
My son used to have about a dozen boxes every year
This year so far, he receive only four

high speed rail should restart so we can stay across the causeway (best for those work from home) on weekends travelling back here on weekdays. Many of Malays do rent out their flats here while renting a house in gelang pateh. So no need to work in our old age time.

totally agree with you. but we are already struggling for decades due to high cost of this that and it makes sense that we should plan for our old age of cheaper food, accomodation, getting income by renting our flats here live across causeway/getang pateh.

Similar quality mooncakes cost 60% cheaper in Malaysia. If you need maybe 5 hours total to clear traffic both ways.
