Just...Is it Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival?<br /><br />Just because you eat mooncake or play lantern doesn't mean that it is called your kind of festival.<br /><br />If one bothers to remember how it came about it should be called the Mid-Autumn Festival.Gorgeoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180529402802454266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-59919629841781961012011-08-16T00:17:05.454+08:002011-08-16T00:17:05.454+08:00hey, i remember reading this rant last year! thank...hey, i remember reading this rant last year! thanks for another year of rants and raves.<br />anyway, hope it's a happy occasion for you, with family and loved ones.jeeralanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418651243372585405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-50648269957861319322010-09-17T05:59:21.680+08:002010-09-17T05:59:21.680+08:00Folks, let us get back to the basics of this festi...Folks, let us get back to the basics of this festival = it's more an occasion for reunion (Dhuan Yuen)with family, rather than on the emphasis of giving away some boxes of mooncake.<br /><br />Let those businessmen buy up mooncakes in the market as gifts to their customers/clients.<br /><br />Again, it is a Supply-Demand dynamics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325450689988539299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-76938054138991027882010-09-16T14:06:28.991+08:002010-09-16T14:06:28.991+08:00The Malaysian mooncake scene is regulated by a car...The Malaysian mooncake scene is regulated by a cartel of businessmen, who meet every year to set the minimum retail price. As we can see, the public is resisting strongly once the price broke above RM10 per piece, as evidenced by the 20% discounts given freely this year. For me, I stopped eating it in protest. A boycott will surely break this cartel.bonny bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067749042575826587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-62692804471097026462009-09-02T19:07:17.442+08:002009-09-02T19:07:17.442+08:00This is smallish in value compared to our car pric...This is smallish in value compared to our car price.

I find it weird to be eating mooncakes now during the Ghost Month (Chinese July). Cant they start selling at least after 14th July to respect the occassion and to be in the spirit of the festival?Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066612387421049099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183714.post-54017637158457387412009-09-02T14:52:13.853+08:002009-09-02T14:52:13.853+08:00Why are you surprised?
