Who is buying mooncakes still?

[RedRedWine]

Maybe 1 box of mandarin oriental at 35% discount ownself jiak.

I used to buy alot too, to give people. Now, can give excuse too sweet, bad for health.

Save money.

Actually myself also la i think thru its not just the price but its not exactly something thats good for health like birds nest or what

so i guess no point wasting the money i rather take the cash and go hoot good durians i feel also more worth it

On this the durian mooncakes are truly the worst buy since u can just spend the money and eat real pure durians

 

[RedRedWine]

Once a year OK lar. 4 yolks for the win!

Lol 4 yolks really jiak shiok every mouth got yolk

 

[RedRedWine]

黑皮榴莲 i wait till last min then buy

The black skin durian really nice meh?

 

[RedRedWine]

Just be careful. If you are buying a gift, it shouldn't be delivered before the start of 8th month.

Lol ok i didnt know but i usually give later

 

[galmongie]

I only eat the yam paste with egg yolk flaky skin type.
However, will not use own money to buy

Although i kind of stopped eating it but just took a look around , the price has risen until quite ridiculous sia

80-90 a box for the hotel ones?

when i was buying them yearly its like 50-55 max a box

not like its healthy or anything also think maybe at most buy a box to eat shiok

but amazed at this price point still got people wanna buy , corporate gifts not counted but for personal consumption

Before covid $48 per box can talk culture talk heritage

Now become $88 per box

Even receive as gift also feel bad for the giver. Ownself feel cumg0ng

 

[xsoldix]

I'm still buying for my folks.
double yolk - always traditional

mochi ones can go fly kite.

 

[forests_gump]

Anything that is festive, eg. Mid autumn - Mooncake, Dumplings festival - BahZhang, Xmas - log cakes

All related snacks ~ has being turn into hype-up mark-up tourist prices

Lol imagine the ingredients cost add together also at most ard 10 bucks or so plus package etc k la give u 30 max

The rest all is just greed lol ya like see that box of thing really cant justify the spend sia the same amount buy other things also shiok

 

[andyhtc]

They are mostly factory-made nowadays.

Soon we will see some influencers and Mediacorp selling premium-priced mooncakes.
