A woman was baffled to discover that mooncakes she bought from a hotel had turned mouldy before their printed expiry date of Oct 9.<\/p>\n

Stomper Wee<\/strong> said her children bought a set of four double yolk mooncakes from Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel sometime in August or September. The online order cost around $65.<\/p>\n

According to Wee, she took out the last two mooncakes to eat during the weekend of Oct 3 to Oct 4, only to find that they were \u201calready very mouldy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Photos she shared show white fuzz on the unopened mooncakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had placed the mooncakes in a cooling place in my living room,\u201d said the Stomper. \u201cThey were not near any refrigerator or air-conditioner. There was air circulation from the fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wee, who felt there should have been an earlier expiry date, wrote to the hotel.<\/p>\n

Hotel apologises, offers 500g cake as gesture of goodwill<\/h2>\n

In an email reply seen by Stomp, Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel explained that its mooncakes are crafted in-house and contain no artificial preservatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, spoilage or mould can occasionally happen if the mooncakes<\/a> are exposed to high heat and humidity, of if the airtight sealing bag has been compromised during handling or transit, etc\u201d, the hotel said.<\/p>\n

Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel assured Wee that this was an isolated case and apologised. The hotel also offered her a complimentary 500g cake as a gesture of goodwill.<\/p>\n

Wee was given three flavours of cake to choose from, valid for self-collection until Oct 16 with two days of notice required.<\/p>\n

She told Stomp on Oct 12: \u201cI will be accepting the free cake\u00a0offered since\u00a0mooncake\u00a0season<\/a> is over.\u201d<\/p>\n
