This Mid-Autumn season, sweeten your celebrations and indulge in the quintessential festive treat as popular Hong Kong Meixin Mooncakes launches a delightful repertoire of mooncakes to enliven the festive spirit.
Hong Kong Meixin aims to commemorate the strong bonds of family, friends and loved ones. Throughout the years, they have always been passionate about sharing the most iconic festive flavours at the highest quality.
This year, the brand continues to captivate hearts (and taste buds!) with its signature lava custard mooncakes, classic baked favourites, refreshing fruity snowskin delights and Avengers mooncakes. This Mid-Autumn Festival would be the coolest!
AVENGERS… ASSEMBLE!
Hong Kong Meixin (HKMX) has assembled the seven superheroes once again — Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Thor, Black Widow, Ant-Man and the Hulk — on its Marvel Heroes and Ironman collectible tin boxes.
Enjoy your Avenger-stamped Lava Custard mooncakes in two different tins: Avengers and Iron Man. Iron Man’s arc reactor & name lights up at the touch of a button.
This exclusive bundle ($72 for 2 tins) will be sold as a pair and is a must-buy collection for all Marvel fans. Each collection contains 4 pieces of the most popular Lava Custard Mooncakes.
‘Lava Custard Mooncake’ ($63.80) has become the public’s new favourite over the recent Mid-Autumn festivals, and Hong Kong Meixin Mooncakes is introducing their brand-new ‘Lava Cheese Mooncake’ ($63.80) to the Lava Series.
Made with Gouda Cheese from Northern Europe, the ‘Lava Cheese Mooncake’ has a rich texture, a lingering aroma of cheese, and crunchy crust. Cheese lovers should get your hands on a box right away!
The popular ‘Lava Chocolate Mooncake’ returns once more, paired with Hong Kong Meixin signature ‘Lava Custard Mooncake’ to form the brand-new ‘Lava Duet Mooncake’ ($56). Try both flavours together and surprise your taste buds. The ‘Custard Twins Mooncake’ ($56) is also back for those who prefer the Custard Mooncake Series, and it comes with both the classic and the lava variety.
The Lava Quartet gift set ($65) includes the best of the lava flavours. The signature Lava Custard, Lava Caramel Macchiato, Lava Chocolate and the brand-new Lava Cheese will surely create some great memories during this special time of the year.
Here’s a tip on elevating the enjoyment of the lava mooncakes. Just heat the mooncake in a microwave oven (1000w) for 3 to 5 seconds and cut it open to have the aromatic half-melted golden custard filling flowing gently from the core.
Replacing granulated sugar with sugar alcohol, Hong Kong Meixin created a Low Sugar Mooncake Series for those who are looking for lighter and healthier alternatives. The ‘Low Sugar White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Egg Yolk’ ($63.80) and the ‘Low Sugar White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with Pine Nut’ ($63.80) in the series both come in boxes of six mooncakes. The use of Xianglian lotus seeds in the lotus seed paste varieties ensures that the white lotus seed paste is smooth and fragrant. The Low Sugar mooncake series is a great collection which both the young and old will enjoy.
The ‘White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with 2 Egg Yolks’ and ‘Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake with 2 Egg Yolks’ are flagship products that are known and loved worldwide. The white lotus seed paste is delicate and velvety, and the lotus seed paste creamy and smooth. Combining each with pristine salted egg yolks, these gift boxes promise to be the perfect celebratory treats.
They also have the ‘Classic Mixed Nuts Mooncake’ which combines a medley of crunchy assorted nuts such as almonds, pecans, pine nuts, sesame, and watermelon seeds to create the richly-layered texture.
Snowy mooncakes have been getting more popular over the past few years.
Scouring the world for quality ingredients, Hong Kong Meixin has curated the best fruit puree, that’s incorporated into their tenderly chewy mooncake skin. The ‘Snowy Mooncake Premium Delicacies’ collection ($72.80) features the Mango with Pomelo Dessert as the ‘full moon’ at the centre, surrounded by seven ‘little stars’ comprising popular flavours like Mango, Green Tea & Red Bean, Blueberry Duo, Pink Guava & Apricot, and others. Taste the refreshingly fruity flavours in every bite!
Riding on the success of last year’s ‘Cha Chan Tang mini 4 – Iced Lemon Tea Flavour & Iced Lemon Coke Flavour’, Hong Kong Meixin has introduced another Gift Box with brand-new flavours – ‘Cha Chan Tang mini 4 – Red Bean Iced Drink & Iced Salty Lemon Soda’. The playful Cha Chan Tang series pays tribute to signature flavours popularized by the local eateries Hong Kong-ers grew up with. Each gift box comes with four pieces ($14.20) – two pieces of each flavour.
Another Gold Medal winner, the ‘Snowy Musang King Durian’ ($58) is no stranger. Crafted with only durians from Malaysia that matured without ripening agents, the durian puree is delicate and silky, and guarantees a creamy mouthfeel.
Hong Kong Meixin has been a part of Singapore’s Mid-Autumn Festival since 1994. Since 2006, it has been distributed by FROSTS.

A new tourism initiative aims to protect threatened Welsh mountain ponies by giving them new purpose – offering trekkers a wild experience
From the moment we began ascending the hillside I could tell my walking companion, Suze, was nervous. Beneath her long ginger fringe her eyes were wide, on high alert. After years of solo hiking, I was feeling a little apprehensive, too. Would we get on? Would she refuse to walk the distance? Would she be happy carrying all our kit?
Suze, I should mention, is a pony. But not just any pony. She’s one of a semi-feral herd that has roamed the mountainous regions of Wales since as far back as 1600BC. Said to be relatives of the prehistoric Celtic breed, Welsh mountain ponies were traditionally used to transport goods to market, plough fields and work as pit ponies in the mines, not for riding. Their once widespread use is the reason thousands of miles of bridleways were cleaved across the countryside, creating a network of rights of way that exist to this day.

Singaporeans can travel the distance for food, even all the way far-west to Taman Jurong Food Centre for this one stall – Feng Zhen Lor Mee. (Also read: 10 Best LOR MEE In Singapore)
I will leave you to decide if it is worth trip, especially if you stay say at Tampines or Pasir Ris (or further).
Taman Jurong Food Centre located at 3 Yung Sheng Road, not near to any MRT stations. However, there are stalls foodies head for including 58 Minced Meat Noodle, Tien Lai Rice Stall (for roast meats), Tom’s Kitchen (for Western food), Sikkander’s Briyani, Butternut, Xin Sheng Gor Hiang Prawn Cracker, and BBQ Seafood.
Long queues are a common sight at Feng Zhen Lor Mee, opened from 5am in the morning. While the efficient service is commendable, try to avoid peak lunch time though as the line does go a loop to the back.
There are both the basic Lor Mee ($3) and Fish Lor Mee ($4, $5) available included with fish flakes.
In terms of presentation, there were so many toppings such as scrumptious deep-fried meatballs that the noodles weren’t even visible.
Here’s what I liked about the Lor Mee: the gravy had good consistency, moreish with well-balanced flavours that went amazingly well with the tender meatballs.
If there was one thing I needed to nit-pick, some parts of the ’lor’ was not well stirred, so could be clumpy at parts. Perhaps people who prefer something richer (”zhong kou wei”) would feel it needs more ‘oomph’ and have to add more vinegar.
But amazing flavours hitting most of the right notes and arriving suitably warm, it is no wonder this stall has all the great elements to attract Lor Mee fans to the stall.
However, some people may feel it is “over-rated” because the difference would be subtle, and not far better than say the above-average ones in the neighbourhood.
Besides Lor Mee, they also serve fried prawn rolls which make for tasty appetizers to go with your meal.
Feng Zhen has another outlet at 787B Choa Chu Kang Dr; while they have relatives sell Ah Ma Lor Mee at 328 Clementi Ave 2.

The housing market in the Toronto area somehow continues to defy the downturn that virtually every other industry has faced during the health crisis, with new home sales the strongest they've been since 2007, according to a new housing report from the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD).
Following a very brief lull earlier in the year, the numbers from last month are startling, with 3,544 real estate transactions for new homes taking place in the GTA, which is 36 per cent higher than the same time last year and a whopping 40 per cent higher than the 10-year average.
Unfortunately for anyone hoping to buy in and around the city at some point, prices also continue to rise, hitting a benchmark of $993,811 for newly-built condos — up 18.5 per cent year-over-year — and $1,182,199 for new single-family homes, up 8.3 per cent.
Other recent reports have shown that the average condo apartment purchase price from Q2 2020 in Toronto was equal to about two decades worth of rent, while the average purchase price for any type of home in Toronto hit $943,710 in July.
#ICYMI The GTA new home market saw the strongest July for sales since 2007. See our latest data release: https://t.co/Lf776t5FoG @AltusData pic.twitter.com/m5mIS8pvwk
— BILD (@bildgta) August 28, 2020
Sales were predominantly single-family homes such as detached and semi-detached homes and townhomes, which surged 187 per cent from July 2019 and were 78 per cent higher than the 10-year average.
This is thanks in part to a rush to finish construction projects that were delayed or otherwise impacted by the pandemic, but finally got the green light to proceed as lockdown measures and on-site restrictions eased.
With more industries rebounding and more people returning to work, many residents are also enjoying more economic security than earlier in the year, enabling them to comfortably make big financial decisions once more and act on what experts call "pent-up demand."
Numbers were overall highest in York Region (855 sales of condos and single-family homes in July), followed by Peel (809) and Toronto proper (783).
BILD's CEO said in a release that these high numbers and the demand they indicate “is heartening but not surprising," adding that "even as our region makes its way through recovery, it continues to be a very desirable place to live and work."
A pandemic couldn’t stop the real estate in our city. I think it’s time we start looking into serious Money Laundering and fraud. The real estate in Toronto has been prompt up by fake investors for to long. Even Airbnb has taken a hit and the number keep climbing. #onpoli#toronto

Would-be buyers have long known that home ownership in the GTA has been and will continue to be out of reach for most for a slew of reasons, regardless of any economic recession or global health crisis that should realistically threaten it.

The film strikes a beautiful balance between humour and reality as it addresses the international refugee crisis. We follow Syrian musician Omar as he awaits news on his asylum request on the desolate Scottish moors while he attends cultural classes. Meditative and quirkily filmed.

Toronto is getting another Cake Boss vending machine — this time in the Eaton Centre.
An ATM spitting out cakes from New Jersey-based Carlo's Bakery is being installed at Toronto's largest downtown mall. It'll be up and running by Tuesday morning, when the mall opens at 11 a.m.
There are already eight of these vending machines located across the GTA, including at Square One, the Scarborough Town Centre and College Park.
The first ones to appear in Toronto's PATH nearly year ago caused a frenzy that saw huge lineups and sold out cakes before noon.
This newest Cake Boss ATM will be located in the Eaton Centre's Yonge Street atrium, next to the H&M and Uniqlo entrances.
It'll be filled with four essential flavours of Carlo's cakes: Chocolate Fudge, Red Velvet, Carrot and Vanilla Rainbow. Vending machines will be restocked daily with deliveries shipped from Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, N.J.
If it's anything like the other ATMs, queues are inevitable, but they'll be physically distanced. It's unclear how the mall will enforce the distancing.
The Danforth is surely one of Toronto's most important streets. Part of this can be chalked up to the arrival of the subway line here in 1966, but it goes much deeper than this, and includes the profound density of restaurants along this stretch, the way the neighbourhood has fought off high rise development, and the rich history of east side Toronto.
Here are some things you might not know about the Danforth.
1. The street is named after Asa Danforth Jr., the man originally commissioned to build a route that headed east from Scarborough towards Trenton in the 1850s.
2. Danforth's Road, as it was first called, would eventually fall into disuse when Kingston Road became the more popular passage between Toronto and destinations to the east of the city. Danforth Avenue was built as a link to these more easterly routes.
3. In the west, the street begins where it always did, at the edge of the Don Valley near Playter Gardens. You're technically still on the Bloor Viaduct when the street name changes, though there's no marker to say so until Cambridge Ave.

4. The first Taste of the Danforth took place in 1994. It's estimated that 5,000 people attended the local restaurant festival. More recent events drew roughly 1.5 million attendees over the two and half days the festival takes place.
5. The Danforth Music Hall was originally built as a movie theatre in 1919. Billed as Canada's First Super-Suburban Photoplay Palace, it opened just a year after the Bloor Viaduct was completed.
6. The Ecole Napoleon at 55 Danforth Ave. was once the Danforth public lavatory, one of a number of such facilities located around the city. Behind the lavatory was an upscale outdoor skating rink.
7. The Danforth was once the biggest Greektown in North America, and despite a steady decline in the Greek population and Greek-run businesses, people of Greek descent still are still the largest ethnic group in Ward 29 ( a.k.a. Toronto-Danforth).
The Danforth in 1918. Photo via Toronto Archives.
8. The building that recently housed the New York Cafe and a Tim Hortons location (among other businesses) at Danforth and Broadview was once known as Playter Hall. It was the first commercial building in the area and a social hub on the third floor where community meetings and card games were played.
9. Carrot Common was almost a high rise development. Tridel wanted to build on the site in the early 1980s, but the neighbourhood fought the project. In 1986 The Big Carrot acquired the site and a year later the mini shopping district opened.
10. Toronto's nicest gas station / convenience store was originally the Allenby Theatre, but spent its last non-corporate phase as the Roxy, where the Rocky Horror Picture Show was the only film played at the cinema in its final years.

Jajangmyeon 자장면 is a popular Chinese-style Korean noodle dish topped with thick black fermented sauce, diced pork, and vegetables.
When it comes to Jajangmyeon in Singapore, perhaps the more familiar names include O.BBa Jjajang, Hong Jjajang and Noodle Star K – all along Tanjong Pagar Road.
There are also the more established Korean-Chinese speciality stores like Dong Fang Hong, Hwang Sil and Joo Mak Korean Restaurant, all have been around for years and quietly serving up authentic food to the community.
There is one particular OG store that deserves a mention which is Tae Woo Restaurant. It used to be located in a corner of Clarke Quay Central Level 3.
When they shut down in early 2019, my friends and I were close to devastated as we swear by the authentic flavours of their noodles.
I could still vividly remember how their Jajangmyeon is supposed to taste like till present.
Good news is, the original owners are back in action and have set up Mukjja Korean Chinese Restaurant at Novena. *Dance with joy*
From their noodles menu, some of the familiar items including Jajangmyeon ($11), Jjamppong ($14), Seafood Udon Soup ($18) and Spicy Oyster Noodle Soup ($20) make a return.
I remembered every time opting for their Jjamjameyon ($19), which comes with half black bean paste noodles and half spicy seafood noodle soup.
The perfect choice for fickle-minded diners like me who wants the best of both (noodle) world.
Took my first mouthful and like hitting the jackpot, this is THE flavour.
What makes their Jajangmyeon memorable is their black bean paste as well as with occasional bits of shredded meat mixed in.
The paste is probably cooked in fried shallot oil to derive a distinctive aromatic fragrance.
Taste as legit as what I have had before in Seoul.
Their Jjamppong while not as memorable, was still generally decent. Though I felt that the spicy seafood soup could use a little more depth in flavour.
From the sharing dish menu, there are items such Tangsuyuk ($24), Kkanpunggi (Fried Chicken in Garlic Sauce) ($32) and Kansosaewoo aka Fried Shrimp in Chilli Sauce ($35).
If you watch a lot of Korean variety shows, the number one dish to have along with Jajangmyeon no doubt goes to Tangsuyuk which is Korean version of sweet and sour pork.
Generously coated with sweet and sour sauce, they use lean pork strips which the meat texture could be slightly tough for some.
While some other places separate the sauce with deep fried pork when being served, over here the sauce is already mixed in when served.
Hence, it is advised to eat while still hot before the pork strips turn too soggy.
Decided to order another sharing dish to try, Yoolingi ($35) and was pleasantly surprised.
I was served with a large slab of deep-fried boneless chicken sitting in a puddle of soy sauce dressing, topped with chopped onion, red and green chilies.
A robust combination of spiciness, sourish and savoury, which the crispy tender chicken would soak up all the flavours. An extremely appetizing dish to go along with any mains and is my type of food.
Other sharing sides such as Fried or Boiled Dumplings ($10), Japchae ($17) and Ginseng Chicken Soup ($26) are also available.
Lesson learnt – maybe I need to patronize them more often to prevent losing them again.
MukJja is located at Novena Regency, the row of shophouses diagonally opposite Novena Square.
