    Where are the cakes made? China?

  • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 00:50

    Hi deal junkie,
    These mooncakes are imported from and made in Malaysia.

    RRP $16.50 is way overpriced… $15 for 2 is more reasonable and close to market price, but still can find some cheaper ones in chinese grocery stores

      yeah made in china ones… enjoy your lead and melamine and whatever else they use…

        Huge generalisation there. You probably consume more things made in china than you know

    • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 01:19

      Hi ccwwayne,
      These mooncakes are made from organic ingredients and are sugarfree hence the higher price. However we are running the BOGOF promotion now so you are welcome to try some for the price of one!

        Ok.. Will give a try, $15 FOR 2 is reasonable as I said

        Is it coming with a metal box for buying 4?

        • supercheap1 on 13/09/2015 - 03:16

          Does that mean it is $30 for a box of 4 mooncakes?

        • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 11:01

          Hi ccwwayne,
          Great! Unfortunately we've run out of the boxes for 4. However, we do still have boxes of 2. Kindly send an email to order. Thanks :)

        The irony of it being more expensive BECAUSE it has one less ingredient :p

        • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 11:05

          Hi SirFlibbled,
          There is no sugar in our mooncakes, it is instead substituted with Isomalt and suitable for diabetics.

  • Yanoflies on 13/09/2015 - 01:16

    What're the nutritional values in these like? I'm not from Melb but would like to know anyway.

    • tyler.durden on 13/09/2015 - 08:58

      lard is an ingredient

      • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 11:06

        Hi tyler.durden,
        Our mooncakes are vegetarian and do not contain any lard.

        • Yanoflies on 13/09/2015 - 15:45

          Could you please post up the nutritional details? And how much would shipping to Sydney be?

        • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 19:49

          @Yanoflies:
          Hi Yanoflies,
          Our manufacturers have done lab test reports and are waiting for the nutritional information. Delivery to Sydney for 1-2 boxes will cost $11. Thanks

    Hi OP, where can I get this in Sydney?

    • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 11:09

      Hi John5teen,
      Our mooncakes are only available in Melbourne currently, but I'd be happy to post some to Sydney for you. Kindly send an email to [email protected] and we can work something out. Thanks!

  • cartonwm on 13/09/2015 - 09:58

    I don't understand, when you say sugar free, do you use no sugar in making the actual outside layers?

    For people who does not know how to make mooncakes, sugar is a key ingredient in making the pastry for the mooncake - you turn sugar into syrup otherwise the pastry is not as what you see.

    Negative. Not a bargain.

    • SirFlibbled on 13/09/2015 - 10:09

      This. It's twice the price of a normal mooncake. Fair enough that they're organic and sugar free. But you'd think that $15 each would be the 'normal' price.

      Hi cartonwm,
      We do not use any sugar in making the mooncakes. Sugar is substituted with Isomalt which is suitable for diabetics.

    Hi Store rep,
    I was wondering if you deliver to Gold Coast? Any vegan/vegetarian options with no eggs?
    Thanks

  • OzzyB on 13/09/2015 - 10:43

    What is this certification you speak of? Shouldn't certification be by some statutory or regulatory body, not just some doctor (whose title doesn't require capitalisation…)?

    • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 11:20

      Hi OzzyB,
      Our mooncakes have been certified suitable for diabetics. As these mooncakes are a new product made in Malaysia, the manufacturer has so far obtained certification from a specialist in Malaysia. They are currently in the process of obtaining certification from the Malaysian Diabetes Association and organic certification.

      • SirFlibbled on 13/09/2015 - 19:14

        Could you name who has certified it? It all seems very vague.

        • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 13/09/2015 - 19:47

          Hi SirFlibbled,
          Our mooncakes are certified suitable for diabetics by Dr. Vijay Ananda Paramasvaran, a consultant physician and endocrinologist from Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You can view the letter here https://www.facebook.com/1607380369530496/photos/a.162014561…

        • seigweilo on 14/09/2015 - 04:57

          @littlekd: australian certification? Where is the australian standard cert? Icould get my doctor to write anything up as well.

          Just saying its organic and sugar free to try and pry into an aussie niche market is not how it works…asians like them foods sugary and full of msg and fat!

        • Associatedlittlekd @ eshopasia.com on 14/09/2015 - 10:50

          @seigweilo:
          Hi seigweilo,
          Our mooncakes are a new product and imported so there's only Malaysian certification. We are in the process of obtaining certification from the Malaysian Diabetes Association and organic certification.

    Some of these comments here sound very much racist or xenophobic. Yeah thats right, I played the race card, but I find it all in very poor taste.

    Focus on the f**king deal people.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2015 - 18:18

    Sugar free moon cakes? Worst idea ever.

    Also Lotus paste is a terrible filling!

  • gimme on 13/09/2015 - 22:08

    What's the point of crapping on about your personal preferences. If someone doesn't like it don't buy. This is for a niche market, be it diabetics or those who don't want to become one. It may not be the best tasting mooncake but I don't think it's sold as such.

  • KangaBanga on 13/09/2015 - 22:59

    Wiki : Isomalt is a sugar substitute, a type of sugar alcohol, used primarily for its sugar-like physical properties. It has only a small impact on blood sugar levels and does not promote tooth decay, i.e. is tooth-friendly. Its energy value is 2 kcal/g, half that of sugars. However, like most sugar alcohols, it carries a risk of gastric distress, including flatulence and diarrhea, when consumed in large quantities. Therefore, isomalt is advised to not be consumed in quantities larger than about 50 g per day for adults and 25 g for children. Isomalt may prove upsetting to the intestinal tract because the body treats it as a dietary fiber instead of as a simple carbohydrate. Therefore, like most fibers, it can increase bowel movements, passing through the bowel in virtually undigested form.

    Using isomalt is not a bad idea but for diabetics its just marketing hype. Even if you were diabetic, you could still eat the normal ones and end up with the same calorie load if you had half of the portion size.

    The best tasting ones are still those proper ones made with lard and sugar. Mooncakes made without lard are just like pies made without butter, you just lose that flavour dimension in the crust.(watching too much masterchef again….)

    Price wise, for mooncakes, a lot depends on their branding. IIRC, some of the best and most expensive are from hongkong, which is now part of china but i would rate their food manufacturing practices slightly higher than those of mainland china.

    I thought mooncakes were made in Amsterdam?
