Robb Gobs - Shanghai Mooncake, Overseas Restaurant

2 weeks ago, I had a sudden crave for Shanghai mooncake. It was no thanks to some twitter updates telling me that some twitterers just finished eating mooncakes.

I am not a big fan of the regular mooncake which kinda looks like this.

regular mooncake

However, I'm a big fan of Shanghai mooncakes which kinda looks like breasts. Yes, me, a gay guy craving for mooncakes that looks like breasts. So wrong, right?

It seems to me not that not many people are aware of Shanghai mooncake, especially the city folks who I assume grew up without sufficient exposure to cultural delicacies, such as the 'breastful' Shanghai mooncake I'm sharing in this post.

I got the crave when I was still working in Nuffnang office and I had the strongest urge to get myself some Shanghai mooncake right after work. My family is kinda a faithful customer of Overseas mooncakes ever since I knew about mooncakes. As such, my taste buds picked up the brand as well and I sought for Overseas Shanghai mooncakes.

Of course, the best place to get them would be from the restaurant itself as they'd be fresh from the oven. But seeing that there isn't one near any LRT station I could reach, I head over to the nearest Jusco from my house, Wangsa Maju to get them instead. Thank God, they do sell it there!!

Buy 4 free 1 promo was no doubt attractive if you ask me. I was thinking;

"Wow! I pay for 4 Shanghai mooncakes and they give me 5? Great deal!"

Well, I dreamed too early as I found out the free mooncake they were giving out is a small regular mooncake (refer picture above) without yolk in it. FML. And as expected, the Shanghai mooncakes sold at shopping complexes aren't exactly the fresh type.

Can't complain much as they need to meet demands from the customers such as me. At least I can buy it at Jusco. I was grateful that I can satisfy my crave for the Shanghai mooncake. :P

I rushed home as fast as I could so I can dissect one and consume it to satisfy my cravings. Of course, a few pictures are in order as I plan to share this with my dearest readers.

It was orgasmic to taste a decently made Shanghai mooncake at the top of my cravings for it. Ahhhhh~~~ *insert other sounds of pleasure*

Each Shanghai mooncake cost RM11 for J card members or RM12.90 for non J card member. I think the price is RM11/12 if you buy it directly from Overseas restaurant. Not sure, anyone to confirm?

Guess what? I finished 4 of them in less than 7 days time. FML.

Craving again
