    Eh, eh ... everytime I come over here at bedtime there is always something super delicious to view! Makes me hungry to even look at it lah. I must say, in my present state of mind, that sambal mooncake looks dee-lish.
    What can I say, mooncake is delicious ... period. I could eat one ... right about now ...! If I wasn't living in God knows how far away from the nearest available mooncake ...

  • Waifon · 3 years ago
    Oi, I can't even find time to eat mooncake, you pulak have so much time mooncake hunting and do a review summore. I jeles dah, how like that!? omg, chocolate mooncake! Adoi, I sorta miss the times when all we have in the supermarkets or restaurants are the same old lotus paste and egg yolk mooncakes. The revolutionized mooncakes are sort of wiping the good ol' traditional taste of mooncakes altogether. the irony. Sad... but damn exciting cos got so many new flavours out there and it's all so goddamn orgasmic! Eh, you don't dig jelly mooncakes meh?
  • ront · 3 years ago
    i can only get the good ol' non-halal lotus paste with single yoke.....

    and also the old skool red bean paste.....

    save me some??

  • Sandra · 3 years ago
    Talking about mooncake kinda make me fat. Nowadays mooncake got so many varities. Didnt ever tastes those be4. Well, the Chocolate wan nice! Choco Rox!
  • pinkpau · 3 years ago
    prawn : hehe i mail you some, ok!

    lalita : hey i've missed you! :D haha wow i cant believe you so readily accept the idea of sambal mooncake! everyone i know is only sold after they taste it

    jay : it's this round palmsized Chinese confectionery. traditionally it has lotus paste (sweet, sticky?) in it, then baked to look like the outside of the mooncake in the first pic. the other type you have is snowskin mooncake, where the skin is made out of glutinious rice flour, and is soft and cold and tastes like icing sugar :D both are very yummy. we have it for the Mid Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival as some people call it. you can follow the wikipedia url i've left at the top of the post!

    sieutheng : tai thong! tai thong! dont buy overseas -_- actually tong kee also not bad. hey did u know that in half a mooncake, there are like 400 calories. haha on average, we burn 1300 calories a day.

    archangel : very nice wan! get out of your kampung and go try!

    cK : muahaha! the sadist in me feels accomplished

    mrbherng : omg *does crucifix sign with fingers

    KY : replied ur email!

    abbyc : the chocolate one in this post is from mandarin oriental! but prince hotel has this VERY good chocolate whiskey mooncake as well :) ping pei wan.

    waifon : haha dunnit a lotta time wan, just pick up the mooncakes and go. either that or just recieve the mooncakes ppl send to u! see, quick and easy :D aww, we still have the traditional lotus paste egg yolk stuff mah. just that we have more choice now, which is good :D and jelly mooncakes are fine though i still prefer the baked/pingpei variety.

    ront : where do u live right now?

    ginny : hehe go! try haagen dazs ice cream mooncake! i got some for my birthday last year and they were soooo good :D

    sarah : tis payback! you got to go watch WAS =(

    sweat : eh the durian wan very nice! subang/usj dont have jusco supermarkets? ya im online now but dont see u =(

    vvens : YEA i've been looking for the birdnest mooncakes! i saw damn a lot last year but this year like dont have liddat =( where, where! and omg dried meat mooncake! izzit from bee cheng hiang? eh amway i also got, but din try yet. which wan nice?

    reallybites : yeaaa tai thong :D thats the way to go! ya mango cheesecake wan very nice!

    therealanon : ya close on sundays! damn weird right - sunday should have the most business! must be a super christian family that owns the place.

    cla : the best tai thong mooncake ive tried is the peanut butter yam custard one! it's goood. their lotus paste is also one of the best i've tried. haha nicole?? i wish ler! she's too cute :P did you see her face when tyra pulled the london thing on her and jayla?

    director : yea actually mooncakes are damn fattening.. haha i gave my trainer a mooncake and he was like "O_O how many have u been eating!" ya mooncakes getting more and mroe expensive =(

    eric : eh u must go try it. must must must.

    sandra : haha talking bout it makes u fat? then eating it leh?
  • prawn · 3 years ago
    Ohhh.. then i want the sambal mooncake, the snowskin mango cheese cake mooncake, milk chocalate with pea...... (bla bla bla, bla bla bla) =P
  • vvens · 3 years ago
    amway, the one with red bean! i like it.
    its very very moist.

    the birdnest mooncake is from lou hong ka. some birdnest shop where u can find almost in every shopping centre. i dont think its has an english name.
  • Lalita · 3 years ago
    Hey Su Ann! Thanks for missing me! =) I've been reading your posts periodically - not because of lack of interest of course - (NEVER THAT!), just because I've been super busy.

    But yes, I figure that I love sambal and I love mooncake and sometimes when you are in the mood for savoury-sweet, these things do really sound appealing! Does that make any sense at all even in a twisted way?
  • bowb · 3 years ago
    this is AMAZING! i havent even ventured out to see if the normal mooncakes are out in sydney yet, but i doubt i will find anything as wonderful as your specimens. amazing.
  • ashleighhhh · 3 years ago
    goodness....
    i want to taste the chocolate mooncake!
    argh..frustrating,everytime i see this post, theres an all new craving T-T
  • Cat-chan · 3 years ago
    There are no mooncakes in Dunedin! Boohoo *bursts into tears* I want mooncaaaaakeeeessss~~~~
    Haha... The Taiwanese Student's Assocation is actually having a Mooncake Festival Celebration, and apparently they're selling mooncakes there. Only thing is, I was warned the mooncakes are really, really pricy. Like NZ$15 for a small one? 0_o
    The sambal mooncake sounds quite nice, actually. Makes a change from all the sweet, sweet mooncakes. and for some reason, I can't stand green tea mooncakes. Can't quite figure out why. ^^"

    Next time~
  • pinkpau · 3 years ago
    prawn : greedy!

    vvens : i just tried this one from Amway called Pearl Delight. i have no idea what it is ... haha it's like black in colour?? but doesnt taste like sesame. it's very nice! and ur right, very moist :D eh lou hong ka. damn expensive!

    lalita : aww take care of yourself, ok? and yes the sweet savoury combo is scrumptious .. :)

    bowb : sydney should have lotsa mooncakes!

    ashleighhhh : oh go get it :D it's very nice.

    cat chan : nz15?? that's like rm30 right?! OUCH. yea im not a fan of green tea mooncakes either..
  • vvens · 3 years ago
    yeah! that's the one red bean. that's the one i really love.
    they are ALL out of stock now. :( i just finished those in my house. hahaha.

    hahaha. i've heard of it. but never tried it but i do think they are expensive! bird nest eh.
