Problem
Where can you taste mooncakes - so expensive, la!
Answer
La is Singlish, just an exclamation.
Two Chinese Singaporeans advised me:
"Go to Takashimaya basement. Lots of stalls selling mooncakes offer a free taste. Try tomorrow, Sunday (September 23rd 2018). The last day is Monday (September 24th 2018). If you can still find them, the stalls will probably reduce their prices.
Uh-huh. A bit like Christmas cake and Christmas pudding in London, UK prices come down a day or two afterwards.
I wonder whether the same applies to Taiwan department stores and Chinese supermarkets in Chinatowns worldwide.
