It's that time of the year again in the chinese calendar. Yep, mooncake season! That time of the year where mini concerts are held at random areas attracting people and cause traffic jams as a result. Of course this festival won't be complete without the scenes of people walking around with lanterns, especially the kids.

Funny though, I hardly see anyone with lantern for the past few nights. Heck, thinking back of the times when I was a kid playing with lantern kinda made me feel silly. The lanterns I had were the usual ones using candles. Unlike those powered by batteries, which to me is so pointless and takes away the real definition of a lantern.

Oh well, won't be any pictures of me with lanterns. Just kick back and enjoy my moon cakes at home :-D


About a couple of weeks before the moon cake festival officially started many restaurants and supermarkets have already been promoting and selling their own brand of moon cakes. One of those ways to do business and see the festive seasons as an opportunity to make some cash.

Unlike the usual and traditional moon cakes, this one from Sushi King has none of that salty yolk that you can get in any other moon cakes. But that doesn't make this one less tasty. With bits of lotus seeds scattered within, it has a rather fine texture after taking a bite on it. Not dry and hard like other moon cakes, well some are slightly hard based on the various types I've tried.

I honestly think it's a really nice moon cake there. Not too sweet. Tasted just nice, even without the yolk. I don't really like the yolks anyway. For those who don't mind savouring moon cakes without yolks and sitting down drinking chinese tea, this is worth a try.
