Wish you all a happy Mooncake festival in this coming Friday !

6) Mandarin Oriental mooncakes promotion in Sunway Putra - have you spotted any Musang King mooncakes on sales in any of the major supermarket chains or shopping malls in Klang Valley ? If yes, buy a piece (never mind about the pricing) and have a bite and tell me how is the taste like ? Is the taste aweful or excellent or so so ! But no harm trying, there is always a first time before you develop a crave for durians & durian products !
