Q: Decent but inexpensive mooncakes in Beijing?

Does anyone know where I can get mooncakes that don't suck? I'm talking no eggs, nothing ridiculously dense or inedible. I also don't want to blow my whole mooncake wad on like two tiny but really expensive Starbucks or Haagen-dazs cakes.

I don't know what Haagen-dazs is like in China, different, maybe defrosted and refrozen 100 times, but if its the same as from home, its worth every cent cause Chinese mooncake sucks. What are you a kid spending his 1 rmb allowance?

I talked my girlfriend into spending a LOT of money on mooncakes.  She bought vanilla mooncakes, chocolate mooncakes, egg mooncakes, blueberry mooncakes, the moon cakes with the black bean paste inside, etc. etc..  I'd definitely have to say the blueberry mooncakes are my favorite, they're a cross between a blueberry muffin and blueberry pie.  They're muffins with blueberry pie filling.  Love 'em to death, but probably not so good for my waistline.

#1 Best mooncake: Blueberry

$2 Best mooncake: The ones with egg inside

 

Everything else I think is just "meh".

 

Edit: The Blueberry mooncakes say "Rong Qing He" on them.

The best Egg Mooncakes we've had so far say "Hong Kong Sovereign Emperor" with a dragon on top of the box and they're 100RMB for a tin box of 4 mooncakes. They say www.dihuang.cc on the back.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
