DACH Supersonic September 15, 2018 Author Share September 15, 2018 i think people also know it's unhealthy, so most people just consume less. My parents used to like buy and go to try, see which brand nice. Nowadays, they just only eat 1-2 or give to grandkids to eat hand made very time consuming. Unless u buy the ready made lotus paste. Many of those healthier mooncakes also not selling well. Noticed that many of such mooncakes are already withdrawn in the recent festivals. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic September 15, 2018 Share September 15, 2018 nowadays all the ready made ingredient (different paste and yolk) all available, just make the snow skin then add them in. yeah i know, i did entertain the thought of making one time from scratch just to try. got videos on how to make them. Was inspired by carbon82 lol. But all these confectioneries are unhealthy, so i don't bother Many of those healthier mooncakes also not selling well. Noticed that many of such mooncakes are already withdrawn in the recent festivals. yeah. for such seasonal things, i think don't need bother about healthy alternatives lah. Why compromise on the taste for something u eat like for 1-2 weeks a year. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything handmade is time consuming. Have watched a time lapse on an artist who used matchsticks to construct a skull only to lit and burn... There’s also a last one standing Japanese family run, manual process only fabric dye shop. They produce the acclaimed best black dye in the entire country. Black with sheen of luxurious shine...fit for the royalty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopites Supersonic September 17, 2018 Share September 17, 2018 For some reason. All the old shops are closing down their shopfront and hotels+restaurants are the ones selling under their brand. Which is weird cuz I doubt they bake their own moon cakes. And I gather that many people buy online these days as well. still can get the "big china" at AV. same packaging. same carrier. prices slightly up than last year if i remember correctly. i collecting moon cakes IMG_0209.JPG your nick alreafy say so. lau sai.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
