hey i'm glad u guys like this thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
i was asked by one of our members here (LaFille) about Mooncake Festival when i told her about my mooncake shopping a few weeks ago. so i thought, instead of telling it to her via e-mail, i can also at the same time tell others about this festival which is a very fun & tasty festival. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
@ Spick -> yeah why not? don't forget the time of year it's celebrated - between 2nd week of September & 2nd week of October. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
tip: don't try the mooncakes with egg yolk first. that might mar your first mooncake experience. trust me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
@ Al -> i'm sure u can find mooncakes in your town. just find chinese stores. they're bound to have these. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> i bet all or most of them come from Hong Kong.
@ Cleg -> u're a New Yorker, so that's no excuse to say that u cannot check it out in your local chinatown. do have fun sampling something new. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
@ HEF -> now u get to be more asian. do check out the nearest or best asian store that has mooncake available. remember: baked ones are the traditional ones mostly & the chilled ones are the newer versions which are also interesting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
have fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
note: the fish is actually a hard biscuit with no filling. the eye is actually a bean.
