Suzhou mooncakes in Toronto?

Hey guys!

So it's that time of year again, but instead of the Canton style mooncakes that have sweet paste inside (and which I've already had 2 boxes of from T&T), I'm looking for the Suzhou variety. Already tried googling for it, but no luck! So I have come to this board to ask all you food connoisseurs. These have that flaky outside with meat or sweet seaweed inside. Does anyone if there's a restaurant or supermarket that sells the meat ones (freshly baked?) or the seaweed style?

Thanks in advance!

    T&T sells all kinds of moon cakes in their snack section (at least the one on Cherry St.), - e.g.Taiwanese, Chewchou (sp?) etc., not sure if they have Suzhou but I've gotten salty versions there in the past.

      They have one type of Suzhou mooncake actually. I tried it and it's nothing like the real ones. The outside is so dry and not flaky at all! Also wasn't a fan of the fillings. So disappointed...
