branded vs brandless mooncakes


which one is your choice???

me? as you can see in the photo- it has no brand, it does not come with any fancy packaging and for all your know, it might go stale in a few more days if i don't finish them.

yup, it is always those bought-from-market mooncakes for me. this year, mom got them for rm2.20 each, an increase of 20cents compared to last year's price.

i do not like to eat freshly baked ones, you have to wait till all the oil has settled and the filling and the skin to get oily...then only when you bite into the piece of mooncake, the filling does not break.

i also do not go for egg yolk. red bean paste and green bean paste filling are my favourites. heck, i don't even like lotus paste. do i have cheap taste (in mooncake) or what?? i don't think you can get green bean paste from those branded ones.

yes, those branded ones come with nice boxes and they can last few years.....eeekk.....how much preservative did they put in those things?? and what are you going to do with the boxes? it will most probably end up in the recycle bins.

do the expensive ones taste better? i know their red bean ones suck. what about those non-traditional mooncake flavours mushrooming nowadays? chocolate cheese, greentea, dragon fruit, cappucino, etc. well, why not go for a real chocolate cheese cake instead??

well, i am for the campaign of buying cheap mooncakes. you save the cash in your wallet, but the cravings in the stomach can still be fulfilled ;P

* this is not related to mooncake. just got an e-mail from aunt ginny, they are coming back from australia on 11 sept. yippee!!! i might have someone to fetch me back from the airport when i land in klia on 13. muahahahahaha!!!!
