Mooncake packaging

This year the economic situation in Singapore is not that great just like the rest of the neighbouring countries. The Mid Autumn Festival came and passed at the blink of the eye. This year my family received 4 boxes as gifts. Only one came with a special packing. The mooncakes are sold with various type of stuffing such as bean paste and lotus seeds. Special paste such as green tea or even durian favour are available from specialty shops. Normally it come standard as plain or with a single salted egg yolk or double egg yolks which is as shown below.

For those who are crazy of salted egg yolk, you may request for 4 salted egg yolks to pamper yourself, which is the most expansive. Due to the size of the mooncake, it is impossible to squeeze more than 4 salted egg yolks. Otherwise it will become salted egg cake and not mooncake anymore. Ha ha ha.

Chineses like red for good luck especially during festive season. I have this inclination of collecting special beautiful mooncake packaging and reuse them for storage boxes. The 3 boxes I received were ordinary standard square red box. So nothing great. However, one came with a special packaging in blue shade purchased from Intercontinental Singapore. Looks like a jewelry box.


Although it is not in red, I think I may keep it just the same. Hope the economy improves next year and look forward to nicer packaging during the Mid Autumn Festival 2017. Cheers. Have a pleasant weekend. [Kelsey]

Hi Peter, Glad you like the packaging. Too wasteful to throw them away isn't it? That the power of sharing info on culture across borders. Good night. Cheers. Knocking out soon. [Kelsey]

Hi Chuka, Yes, they are quite nice for display and storage instead of throwing them away after consuming the mooncakes. Thanks, I had my weekend already. Time zone here is about 2312hr. Going to bed soon. Cheers. Hear from again tomorrow. [Kelsey]

I like culture! Didn't know about mooncake. Will love to see more like this in your blog. Take care.

Hi Jean, Oh, so you are a someone who like cultural stuff. Will bear this in mind. Thanks for commenting and cheers. [Kelsey]

Hello Kelsey, nice boxes and your sustainable use for them is great. Have a great weekend.

Yah, maybe if I collected them over 10 years, I may sell them to supplement my passive income or win environmental award on conservation. Ha ha ha. [Kelsey]

Hi Kelsey, the boxes are gorgeous and I am sure the goodies inside are great to eat. Irv.

Hi Ivine, Yes they are delicious and very sweet. The salt egg yolks are high in cholesterol so you can't have too many at one go. [Kelsey]

Looks like Tiffany blue! My favorite moon pie is one with bean paste.

1

Hi Glen, You have eyes for colour management. You are correct. They are not blue. Either Tiffany or turquoise blue. Thanks for the correction. I think the moon pie is just as sweet as the mooncake. [Kelsey]

1

Oops, I meant to say mooncake. We have some at home.

1

Hi Glen, Ha ha, so you have tasted mooncake after all and you like the plain bean paste type. You must try them with chinese tea. [Kelsey]

Those boxes are beautiful Kelsey. Hope your weekend is going well :)

Hi Jude, Yes, beautiful. The design is quite intricate and the door knobs golden in colour make the box stand out. You too have a pleasant weekend too. [Kelsey]
