Mooncakes
This is a belated post as the Mid-Autumn Festival was yesterday. However, I couldn’t help posting the photo that I had taken on the mooncakes that I had bought for this year’s festival. Then again, as I had learnt from a Hong Konger that I was talking to earlier this week, it is still a public holiday in Hong Kong today for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so this post of mine is still timely. =p
After the mad rush of buying the mooncakes and trying the mooncakes from the plethora of choices in the market, there is this inevitable sigh when the festival is over because it will only be next year before I’ll get to try these savoury treats again.
Mooncakes from Ritz Carlton - the traditional double yolk and green tea flavour
On the side note, I was actually teasing a friend of mine yesterday when she called the festival the Mooncake Festival instead of Mid-autumn Festival. Hmm…according to Wikipedia, Mooncake Festival is also an alternative name for Mid-autumn Festival. Well, looks like we learn new things everyday.
I think Mooncake Festival still sounds wrong. It’s like calling Chinese New Year “Ang Pow Festival”…
Yah, that’s what I thought so too, but I suppose “mooncake festival” is another alternative name that can also be accepted. I still prefer to call it Mid Autumn Fest.
