Mooncake Fever!

What could possibly be hiding within this beautifully crafted (cardboard) box?! Well, you've probably guessed it... I mean, what other Asian festival is around this time and makes people go out and spend exorbidant amounts of moolah on cute little artistic foods? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival!!! And the pride and joy of the mid-autumn festival... beautifully crafted mooncakes. Wikipedia has a whole write-up of interesting "did-you-knows" for the Mid-Autumn festival, so I won't bother you all with the details... just click here.

My pops picked up a package of mini-mooncakes from T&T. These ones contained a filling of longan, red-bean and salted egg yolk.

We also bought a couple of the full-sized mooncakes. This one had lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk.

Ooooo... look at the inside! I just love salted egg yolk. I could eat it all day, all by itself. But that'd be a very unhealthy diet :P

Snow-skin mooncakes are the only ones my sisters enjoy. This one was filled with mango and sago cream.

I can't wait until the Mid-Autumn festival draws to a close. We'll be eating mooncakes for at least 2 weeks after the festival... why? Because the day after the festival is also the day when mooncakes go on sale :)
