This year during Mooncake Festival, my hubby bought a box of Mooncake, Lemon Flavour from Tai Thong (has to be them, cause they claim they are the 1st introducing such flavour). So we happily polished off the whole box of mooncake on Sunday night at Port Dickson, but left 2 pieces. My maid put it in the fridge.
Yesterday night (wednesday), I took the 2 pieces out, thinking that I wanted to finish it off. I left it on my dining table so that it softens before I could eat it. At abour 9pm+, I started to savour the last 2 pieces of mooncake. As I was chewing away the 1st piece, I could still taste the lemony taste in it. Then comes the 2nd piece, as I chew, I felt something hard. Then I chew harder, and then I felt something poking my tongue.
Hence I stopped. Then I tried to feel in my mouth to look for that poky “thing”. To my amaze, I actually felt a piece of “thing”. So I spit it out from my mouth. At first I thought it’s could be a piece of paper. But when I check the texture, I discovered that it’s a piece of plastic!! Yes, the plastic is almost the same texture as the plastic container that comes together with the Mooncake!! But thicker.
I took a picture of it for all bloggers to have a look.
Sigh, even such a big company also they can have such poor quality control.
Here’s another photo, comparing it with my nail. It’s as big as my nail!! What a shame on Tai Thong. I’ve wrote in to Malay Mail to complain about this. Lets see if Tai Thong will do anything about this. Too bad I’ve finished off the mooncake and I’ve thrown away the package. No proof that it’s their mooncake, in case they don’t want to admit. Must ask my hubby where he kept the receipt.
Wow!
Why didn’t you write to Thai Thong instead?
I oso tried Tai tong’s Honey dew mooncake..so disappointing..it was so soggy! The the lemon one we bought oso nt very nice cz it was sooo dry & tasted no big deal compared to the “big” price! shame on tai thong.
Dont tell me that’s your blood :S
I tot you have new fingers painting.
Shame on Tai Thong.
yuck…sooo geli…..
i forwarded this post to my family email. they like buying Tai Thing mooncake. hehe
Goodness!! We also wallop a box of Tai Thong mooncake, lemon flavour included. Yikes!
The scariest thot for me when i look at that piece of plastic is…what if it is someone’s…the baker’s fake arcrylic nail fall off…
I seriously think their mint flavour mooncakes taste like toothpaste….sigh
yuck… that is your blood?
Gross!!! These days no such thing as QC anymore. I don’t like Tai Thong mooncake anyway. I always buy Overseas but I won’t be surprised to find plastic in theirs too!
eeww – thats bad for such a reputable company
oh boy. scary!! i hope they will give you an explanation.
When I look at the picture before reading your post, I tot your finger nail fell off after eating moon cake.
yucks!
eewww
these mmooncake are mass produced n probably no quality check!!!
oh dear!!!! what a disappointment for an establishment like Tai Thong.
Looks like those nail extension le…
Really shame on Tai Thong. Nnow that makes me ponder their hygiene quality.. :@
It is irresponsible to create this even if they are rushing their orders. Thank goodness it is not swallowed.
Luckily u were the one who ate the last 2 pcs, instead of the kids. Hope TT wud not make such mistakes again.
Gosh! That’s terrible! It did hurt your tongue, didn’t it?
aiks!!! that’s shocking!! i got the same mooncake from tai thong, which is free. but i think it is still in the box. no one is interested in eating it
terrible…. i bought 1 pack of Tai Thong mooncake too!!
is that yr blood? yikes
should write to them and complain!
