Food Picks Ep 27: Mooncake sales surge online  15:00 mins Synopsis: Our podcasters from The Straits Times talk about the best eats and drinks, and what you can bring home or get delivered, during this Covid-19 pandemic.  Money FM's Bernard Lim hosts The Straits Times' food correspondent Eunice Quek as she shares her food picks this week. With large-scale mooncake fairs not happening this year, businesses are seeing a surge in online sales instead, in the lead-up to the Mid-Autumn Festival on Oct 1.  Many purveyors are on multiple online platforms to maximise exposure and sales. They offer a variety of discounts and bundle offers, to stand out in a crowded online marketplace.  Find out about unusual hybrid mooncakes which are trending on social media. These include an Insta-worthy rainbow lapis snowskin mooncake - kueh lapis wrapped in snowskin - from The Lapis Place, and almond sable mooncakes with a soft and chewy mochi centre from Bakery Brera & Fine Foods.  More Food Picks here:  Produced by: Money FM's Bernard Lim & ST's food team Edited by: Bernard Lim & Muhammad Firmann Follow Lifestyle Picks podcast every Thursday and rate us on: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa2 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa6 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWau Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaL Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
