Hi anony, the traditional mooncakes I'd recommend are from Chop Tai Chong Kok 大中国饼家 at 34 Sago Street. And not Chinatown Tai Chong Kok (Hue Kee) at Banda Street (& Alexandra Village). They are different establishments altogether. Chop Tai Chong Kok 大中国饼家 has another outlet at Block 302 Ubi Avenue 1.

I would recommend 大中国饼家's traditional double yolk baked skin red lotus & their double yolk snowskin mooncakes. Their traditional 五仁 mooncake is a crowd pleaser too.

fen, except 大中囯's baked skin mooncakes, none of the traditional baked skin mooncakes I've tried this year impressed. Last year, Victoria Peak's baked skin mooncake was a dark horse. I was surprised & thought they were pretty good. To make sure it wasn't a fluke haha, I had it again this year. Indeed the quality maintained, the mooncakes are really quite outstanding. You would probably like to keep Victoria Peak in mind, maybe for next year.

Daniel: Haha, I think Yuan want to publish it asap after I typed the first paragraph... I think he wants to make sure there is no additional mooncakes, keke...

You are most welcome and we are glad you had fun.

Ice: Guess you are a traditionalist when it comes to mooncakes.

I am not familiar with Eater Palace as they don't seems to have a website. According to their brochure, they seems to be a food management company with their office located at 26 Lorong 15 Geylang Road.

Charlene: You are most welcome and looking forward to the next one.

Phoebe: I didn't spoil the market. Yuan did, I only typed the first paragraph and went for a shower, the next thing I know, Yuan finished the rest of the post, keke...

Actually this is the first time I use seaweed chicken to do that, usually I will use lotus seeds. =)

For your information, the bird cage on the packaging is supposedly a prized Song Thrush in a golden cage and together with a fruit bearing Persimmon tree, this box is meant to symbolise joy, life and abundance. Very similar concept to Hilton's packaging.

In fact there is a poem printed inside the box by Wang Wei, a Tang dynasty poet so the box is worth a keep.

WAHHHHH! Fen spoil market! hahahaa...was a really ...

WAHHHHH! Fen spoil market! hahahaa...was a really good meetup. Can't wait for the next! oh yes, seaweed chicken - never knew it's dual purpose till now. *chuckles*

I tried Regent Hotel's White Lotus Paste with Double Yolk and Melon Seeds this year too & I'm not impressed with it. In fact I thought it was quite bad hahaha. Sorry Phoebe! hahaha. The lotus paste was so sweet for me & wasn't smooth enough. For traditional baked skin mooncakes, 大中囯's is still the best in my book.

For Teochew flaky skin mooncakes, I'll definitely go for Peony Jade's. I'm crazy about their Teochew ‘Oor Nee’ Mooncake with Premium Fragrant Golden Pumpkin! I'll possibly need to try Eater Palace's to compare. Is Eater Palace a restaurant or do they only sell mooncakes during this season?

Nonetheless, it must have been a great meet-up for everybody to sample different varieties of mooncakes. (:

Thanks to you and yuan for hosting us again! Have a great 中秋节! =)
