It looks good!

So delicious!
MiaJ
This was too sweet in the wrong kind of way I honestly expected a different taste since the other moon cake I tasted was utterly disgusting but this one was only a little bit better. I think it will taste better with tea or coffee or with something kind of bitter. The crust was the only real ok part.

It’s tiny but really tasty!
Khánh Quỳnh
Smaller than I expected but taste pretty good
Julia
Small and not the prettiest design, but I wanted a lotus seed mooncake and it hit the spot. Must consume within a day after arrival.
Matthew
A lot smaller then expected. Really should put a weight for this. It is Bite size. About 1/5 the size of a normal mooncake.
weee.8809747
Too small! Taste is OK. Will not repurchase.
unfaithfulcrescent
The size is small for the price, about half the palm size and three bites. Tastes great, not as sweet and the yolk to lotus paste ratio is perfect. Yolk is moist, not hard nor oily either. Will purchase when it's on sale again.

It was my first time buying mooncakes from Mala, so I immediately opened a special afternoon tea. The fillings were generous, not too sweet and healthy. I was so busy eating that I forgot to take a photo. I'll make a video later. The price is affordable!
