This traditional stall at Alexandra Village turns into a mooncake factory this time of the year churning out hundreds and hundreds of traditional baked mooncake in lotus or white lotus filling. Even though I prefer snow skin mooncakes, I felt that I should grab a few after hearing my buddy Des complimenting the mooncakes from Tai Chong Kok Confectionary. Due to the festival season, the stall only sells baked mooncakes with lotus and white lotus fillings and w/ or w/o egg yolks. Of course, the little piglet moulds are also available.
The filling is mildly sweet unlike some mooncakes where you can get a toothache just by biting into one. The taste of the crust is also not overpowering and the crust is quite soft and when eaten together, the smooth texture mixes really well with the filling. However, what I feel is distinctively good is the egg yolk. First of all, its not too salty and it retains moisture despite being baked. The mild saltiness also creates a nice balance with the sweetness of the lotus paste. Overall, the mooncake may not be exceptional. However, if you want to get a decently good mooncake at a reasonable price (SGD 5-7 range), you may want to check out the stall.

aiya but good or not, mooncakes are always overpriced at this period, as with stuffs like dumplings, CNY goodies at their respective periods. still find abt $8 per mooncake very ex. but i do love a good one tho'. esp those with lots of yolks. best is each mouthful also got yolk. shiok man! LOL
hello evan! Personally I feel that its quite good, this coming from a person who doesn't like baked mooncakes. Mmm maybe on the scale of 1 to 10 I'll give it a 7.5. We're also quite suprised at the price also because the one without yolks were going at $5.70 and single yolks are $6+ while the current price is around the $8 range.
Yum. I love mooncakes, especially the double yolk ones!
Oh hi mary! do they have it in San fran? or have u tried it in Singapore? :)
We can buy the double yolk ones here in SF. They could be imported from Asia but I know that some of our local bakeries make them too.
