pink01  A little info about mooncakes.To the Muslim out there,please bit careful with the mooncakes.Because,originally mooncakes is NON-HALAL because using non-halal oil,but eventually now it made in a halal for Muslims alike to enjoy it.

If you want to eat or want to buy mooncakes,please looking for that is halal JAKIM marked. Because of my experience, don't be easily believe in the moon cakes produced by the store bakery even though it was placed HALAL JAKIM mark on it. It is feared that it just tricks that can be sold easily by the muslim purchaser.
