Two months ahead of Mid Autumn festival, the moon cakes supplier started selling their moon cakes. They are all out to get your money. It is ridiculously overpriced. I used to get it for RM5, now it is selling for over RM13-RM15 (~USD$5). The cost price I believed is not more than RM5 per piece.
Every year, the price goes up by RM1. Maybe the supplier put a lot of money into advertising. It is wasted because it is getting to be too commercialized. They make beautiful boxes but if I buy a piece, I don’t get any box. You need to get 4 to get 1 box.
Oh well, I am still hunting for a good old traditional moon cake at an affordable price. If you find any, let me know. RM8 for a single yolk lotus moon cake is reasonable.
