Mooncakes on the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

I interrupt this little series of lil' sis's won't eat/favorite foods to wish everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. I know, technically it's belated since I'm still catching up on blog posts, but it's the thought that counts right? ;)

Read more about the mid-autumn moon festival.

My oldest uncle gave me a very, very large Asian pear, a mooncake, and a mochi.

It's the fruit and nut filling kind of mooncake. My favorite. I'm not a fan of the lotus seed paste or hard-boiled yolk mooncakes.

Would you like a slice?

Mooncakes are never eaten all at once but sectioned, then slowly savored over the span of several days. Which is exactly what I did.

    NEVER I WANT THE PEAR INSTEAD. WHY ARE KOREAN PEARS SO PRICY? $2.79 A POUND!

    That kind is my favorite too! (You can look in my other blog for pictures of other kinds that I like) I made my batch last nearly 2 weeks. My aptmate was laughing at me trying to savor my last bite. I looked at her really earnestly and said...after I finish this I have to wait another year!!

    Haha, I'm in the lotus paste & egg yolk camp -- but I do like me some black sesame mochi!

    Jeannie,
    You know they last a long time right? You could buy extra. Although I do think eating them at this time of year makes them more special.

    H.C.,
    The egg yolk is just too strange for me.
