It’s tiny but really tasty!
Smaller than I expected but taste pretty good
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.
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.
Too small! Taste is OK. Will not repurchase.
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.
Mooncakes are a must for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Buy two to show your appreciation.
very nicely packaged
I didn't read the reviews before I bought it. It's so small. It's $6 each. This is a scam.
