Chinese - Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

#1 Post by ConnieGigi »

Finally got a box of mooncake on Tuesday from a Chinese grocery store. I was planned to buy double yolk mooncake (no single yolk available in the store, other I would buy single yolk), but all gone, so I bought this no yolk mooncake.

Wing Wah is my favorite brand which I ate every year when I was in HK.

Minime and Masago wishing everyone Happy Mid-Autumn! 中秋節快樂! 人月兩團圓!

It comes with a plastic knife.

Thanks bluesime, teddybear4me2, melissa and nataluna!

Blue, those are re-ment girly style outfit, you should get some for your girls too, :D .

Dana, Wing Wah mooncake with yolk is much better than no yolk, but I couldn't get those with yolk this year, all sold out.

yeah seriously i think if the 3(?) moon festival photo series on this board were the adverts, all people would be buying mooncakes like crazy.

If you want to try mooncake next year, but don't want to try traditional mooncake, you may try the Haagan-Dazs Ice-cream mooncake.

Right, not traditional but have fun. I used to try it 7 yrs ago in Hong Kong. Taste good, of course, it's ice-cream! Skin is Chocolate, yolk is Mango sorbet.
