MOON CAKE FESTIVAL

Another year has nearly gone by …suddenly realise that we had have 4 months left to go for Xmas again. Xmas did not mean much to me….i supposed ….I am more into typical Chinese season…still know where my root is!!! This time of the year we have our moon cake festival….which is coming soon…September. Last week, I went down to China Town …chinese shopper are busy packing up the moon cake box and stacking up ready to display. Well, im not really into sweet things, i think myself is already sweet enough…Tongue out    and i hardly go to buy one of the moon cake to taste it! Partly because it is too expensive to buy in UK…and also moon cake festival are well celebrate with ‘KAKI’ friend and family. But i am not lucky enough to have both of them to celebrate…..so i have less mood to eat or buy moon cake. When i was child…eating mooncake are so much fun, plenty to share and eat…especially when the season coming, we will receive plenty box of mooncake from relative with different taste and favourite. Oh yeah, My favourite moon cake must contain of ‘duck salted egg’ inside. The taste of it are ‘ICHIBAN’…Open-mouthed 
Well, not to forget to mention, moon cake festival also related to chinese valentine day. It is about chinese legend story of an angel from moon …she had falling in love with a men live on earth. Pity to say they only got a chance to meet each other on this special day..for more detail…check on net! i’m so lazy to tell you in so much detail.Tongue out
