Autumnbronze, is the sesame seed with white chocolate very sweet?

Hi jtoh!

I don't find it sweet. And i am actually not a fan of white chocolate. But this one i like cuz the chocolate itself is not cloyingly sweet.

You can go down to the outlets or Taka to try. The one at Serangoon Gardens has tasters

Anybody buy mooncakes from JB?

[jce]

Was at Taka trying mooncakes, again. Haha! This time with the entire family. Bought a snowskin from Obolo and 2 snowskins from Goodwood. My husband wanted his share of traditional double yolk so decided to go for the HK variants as I had bought him the local offerings last week.


I am getting the Teochew yam mooncakes for the elders in the family from Long Jiang. My friend’s dad is one of the shareholders there so can get a small discount. Actually East Ocean does a good one too but I have ordered from Long Jiang…

Shareholders....can we have the discount, too? :evil:

Uh, I guess I could get extra and you guys collect from my place at Toa Payoh? I will try and get the prices from my friend and post it here. If I don’t remember wrongly, it’s 15% or 20% off retail. This type of discount is only reserved for those who order in bulk, ie 10 boxes kind.

Bengawan Solo mooncakes so horrible, the paste stuck onto the teeth.


There is one seller can’t remember the brand, paste never stuck onto the teeth one. I think it is Joo Chiat. Some sort of homemade type.

Between Long Jiang n East Ocean, which one is better?

I used to buy from Long Jiang donkey years ago when the restaurant was still in operation and they were selling from Crown Prince Hotel, until one year, their yam flaky skin tasted horribly from the taste of oil used again n again.

I have not tried East Ocean yam flaky mooncake. Waiting for 17th Sept when they sell in JCube.

I think I must be the odd one out here. I do not like the idea of eating mooncake in the 7th month. I think it is not in accordance with traditions.

I hope mooncake will never become like durian - available to the whole year round.
