Still remember last year my wife and I traveled to KL to buy some Baker's Cottage mooncakes. We bought lots of mooncakes and in the end I had too much mooncakes. Although our taste buds did savor so many different variety of mooncakes, we were unable to get the much-hyped Precious Black mooncake from Baker's Cottage. This year I didn't even bother to buy a single mooncake because people kept on giving me mooncakes. Ha :D And guess what I received from my boss when I returned to work after surviving dengue fever-Baker's Cottage mooncakes.

Baker's Cottage Mooncakes

Yupe! The moment I reached my office table, a bag was awaiting my arrival. It read Baker's Cottage. I opened and there they were greeting me. 2 packets of Baker's Cottage mooncakes. I carefully carried both of them out of the bag and I was excited when one of them is the mooncake that I have been craving for almost a year-The Black Precious. Do you know that its pastry skin is made from pure charcoal butter? Awesome right? I was made even happier when I discovered that the other mooncake is the Grand Ruby which Baker's Cottage was promoting this year.

The elusive Precious Black that eluded me last year!

The grand...well...Grand Ruby.

I feel darn lucky to be able to taste these both mooncakes. The best part is I don't have to buy them. So thank you to my boss for being so generous. Apparently all my colleagues received 2 Baker's Cottage mooncakes each. There are around 100 of us working in the company. So...wow...200 mooncakes were given out? How generous huh! Ok I wanna taste my Precious Black and Grand Ruby right now. :)

P.S.: Both mooncakes tasted good...but well...just not up to my expectations. So what mooncakes did you guys had this year?
