I don't know if there's another thread on mooncakes, but after approximately 10 minutes of skimming forums without finding one I decided to post one!
Most of you probably know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up. This year, it's on the 19th of September.
It's around this time (early September/late August) that my family starts stocking up on mooncakes, and receiving mooncakes from friends.
I myself like the traditional Chinese mooncakes; circular ones with lotus seed paste in the middle and NO salty yolks in the center. I don't know about you guys, but I detest yolks in my mooncakes, and I flat out refuse to eat my mooncake if i uncover one of those beasts inside like a 5 year old brat.
There's lots of different flavors of mooncakes, though. Haagen Daz, I've heard, even has ice cream mooncakes. There are also white lotus seed paste mooncakes, black sesame mooncakes, red bean mooncakes, green bean mooncakes, durian mooncakes, pineapple mooncakes, chocolate mooncakes, mixed nut mooncakes (my mom's favourite) and so much more!
What are your favourite types? :)
