Have you ever had Mooncakes? (1 Viewer)

[Selfmate]

Today is mid autumn festival (or in SK they call it Chuseok)

In China and many surrounding countries we eat mooncakes

Mooncake - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

the fillings are usually sweet - red bean or lotus seed but there is a variety of flavours

So back to the original question - have you had a mooncake and if so did you like it?

The ones with the mixed nuts in it is the best! Though nothing beats the regular ones with lotus paste and egg yolk. Always sooooo yummy!

True, mooncake in itself is an acquired taste. One of my friend doesn't like it because of the texture with the seeds.

hurry down to your local Asian (Chinese) grocery store and after today there will usually be a lot of mooncakes left and they will be on special since mid autumn festival will be over

Thanks for the tip, friend! I have to run errands tomorrow anyway. I'll see if I can find some.

If you like egg yolk, get the ones with double egg yolk in them! When you cut the moon cake up into pieces (I usually cut it into 4 pieces) each one will have a bit of salted egg yolk in it. Yummmmmmmmm 🤤🤤🤤

Yes, those are good. Not a big fan of the egg yolks, though.

[Ahsoka]

I did. I liked them, but it’s not my favorite Asian dessert necessarily. But still good enough I buy them

you can always get them without egg yolks
(in fact the ones without are cheaper lol)
