Can some of our regular JB members confirm ?
I am not referring to Seasons or Lavender, but those stalls in the main atrium.
10Q.
From my experience....usually half way through the 7th month...have not been up there for a while....I used to buy mine from Aeon City...& later mostly from JB City Square...
From my diary record this is a few years back...Season 4 Egg Yolks Moon cake - RM75 ...wonder how much is it these days..anyone can fill me in?
I love to eat those "little piggy" in the plastic cage....was passing a shop here recently saw some & checked the price...it is more than $1 these..I will give it a miss completely...
RM75 is on the high side, if you don't get the buy 4 get 1 free promotion.
I would always use SEASON as yardstick:
RM75 how the local jiuhu kia afforded. Must go cheong work in Singapore everyday can afford.
No nsf jiuhukia males free to roam work in Singapore PAP favourite workers.
yesterday I just tipped a jiuhukia sdg$30 at Emperor spa. That is about $93 RM.
He can buy 1 and a half box.
The moon cake I used to buy is something like, you have to ask if they have it in stock, the brown skin type with lean yong, with 4 egg yolks. RM75 is reasonable if you compare that with Singapore...in which, it will cost you an 'arm & a leg'. That box is a special order purchase I do for someone..I only eat moon cake, with the brown skin & lean yong fillings, no egg yolk, no snow skin, no....just plain & the little piggy. You can give me in the plain brown wrapper ( in the past they packed that), that will do for me..no need fanciful box.
I do not know if they still make the 4 egg yolks type...looking at the catalogue above...it is not there. I have not been up to JB for quite a while...may go & do a recee...
I don't like the one's with the yolks. I prefer those with only the green bean or is it black bean
If I have time I'll go down to JB & pick some up. In Spore I would never buy it because it is just too expensive. This sentiment is shared shared by others in Spore because the buses going to JB are so crowded:(

What so nice eating moon cake.
Why not buy after the moon date is over.
I can get it for $10 a box and pretend it is moon cake day.

Bro, please visit JB soon and update us. Just curious if the stalls have started to fill up the atrium of City Square.
Season and Lavender are expensive compared to brands from other parts of Malaysia.
As a matter of fact, I went to JB City Square this afternoon. The Mooncake festive mood is still not that apparent in the air. Save for some token displays of mooncakes at some upstairs shops selling cakes and swiss rolls, the atrium at ground floor is occupied by stalls and booths promoting some kiddie stuff.

Not so long ago, I did a cultural 'discovery' on different types of moon cakes by different dialects, back then, we have certain areas where certain dialect groups lived. I have tried, Teochew, Hokkien, Hainanese moon cakes...
The brown thick skin ones...are they only from the Cantonese...that I have not found out. The Teochew moon cakes, there is a Teo Chew confectionery shop, in which I had rediscovered recently, when I thought they had closed down near Telok Ayer MRT Station..
Hokkien no moon cakes no hookien history eat mooncake.
Hokkien fly lanterns and eat ba chor mee in autumn.
