If you aren't Asian you wouldn't understand the title of my blog post and you cannot understand all the happiness that I am feeling right now. Almost all Asian kids throughout Southeast Asian, are celebrating whatever holiday they call it today! I believe all Chinese people call it Mid-Autumn Festival, and if I was in China it would be much funner than celebrating here in New York. My mother tells me all of the stories that she had when she was young celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong. She says that every year there is a big festival in central Hong Kong, where there are a lot of mini shops on the street, with games, food, stuff to buy, and ect. All we have here in New York are mooncakes.
Don't misunderstand me, I LOVE TO EAT MOONCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Is mooncake spelled with a space or not?) There are so many different types of moon cakes, red bean, black bean, lotus bean, iced shelled!!!!! My family bought our moon cakes on Friday because yesterday we don't have time, and today my mom is very busy. My favorite type of mooncake is either the; egged shelled red bean mooncakes with two duck eggs, or ice shelled taro flavored mooncakes! The both of them are soooooo yummmy!!!!!!!
I've tried before making my own mooncakes but they always don't taste as good as the ones made by others. Probably the reason is because I tweak the recipe to make it healthier such as not using lard because I don't like it. Oh well, whatever I'm not messing up mooncakes this year because I'm not making them. I feel bad for wasting all the stuff that I put in the mooncakes and just throwing it all out afterwards.
Here's the recipe I used if you want to try it out: http://chinesefood.about.com/od/foodfestivals/r/mooncakes.htm
