It’s the 9th of August, which means it’s Mooncake Festival! Although it has been several years since I last celebrated this auspicious holiday in the heavenly Buddha Land, I am still an avid mooncake fan and I love to try them wherever I go.

How to Choose a Mooncake
When it comes to mooncakes, there are a few things you should take into consideration before making your purchase. First, decide what type of filling you would like. Do you prefer the traditional lotus paste or something more unique like durian? Second, think about the size and weight of the mooncake. Are you looking for something small and delicate or large and filling? Third, consider the price.
Mooncakes can range from a few dollars to over one hundred dollars depending on the brand and fillings. In order to make sure that you’re getting the best deal possible, be sure to read reviews online. It’s important that this is just as important as any other part of your decision process because even with an amazing filling, if the cake is made poorly it won’t taste good. At Bread Garden, we use premium ingredients so that our cakes always turn out soft and delicious.
The Good, The Bad, and The Interesting
Bread Garden’s durian mooncake is pretty good! The bad thing is that they’re really expensive. The interesting thing is that they’re made with real durian fruit, which is a rare find in mooncakes. If you love durian, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, you might want to give it a skip. You can also try other flavors like pandan and black sesame. But be warned that some people don’t like bread garden because they don’t have as many toppings as other brands of mooncakes do. And some people feel the texture is too dry or has too much flour-y taste to it.
But if you’re okay with those things, these are worth trying out at least once in your life just for the novelty of it all! They’re available in 4 different types: classic mooncake (green tea), winter melon, black sesame, and pandan flavor. All four varieties come in individual packs of 5 pieces each, costing SGD$15 per pack. A box containing 10 packs costs SGD$60, but is only available for the winter melon and pandan varieties. Boxes containing 12 packs are priced at SGD$84 but only come in two varieties — original and black sesame mooncakes.
