at the chinese supermarket, i discover that mooncakes belong to two species. the majority are eminently affordable aimed at the proletariat and made in the people's republic of china. a small number sits separately costs three times the former and comes from wing wah of hong kong.
i circle the display several times and decide that ideology has to capitulate today. my blanket avoidance of made-in-china goods remains, but for this full moon, we will partake of p.r.c. mooncake. there's a price to pay for principles an' all, but this one's exorbitant.

Tried PRC mooncake 3 years ago (when in Rome etc etc) - yuck. It had mushroom in it.
Wing Wah ftw! But you are right, at the price they go for (even here in China) I'd rather go without.
