During the Mooncake Festival, or sometimes refer to as Lantern Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese community will light up lantern and enjoy the sweet mooncake with families outside the house under the moonlight. I love colorful lantern light adorned at shopping mall or houses, festive decoration always perks our spirit. Of course the celebration won't be complete without enjoyin mooncake myself. There's many flavor in the market nowadays, the traditional mooncake will be the lotus paste with egg yoke and red bean paste (with o without egg yoke). These mooncakes are sweet and sticky but need to be savor slowly and washed down with a cup of chinese tea. With the wake up trendy market nowadays offers many more flavors such as chocolate mocca, coffee flavors mooncake and even jelly mooncake with yam, laychee and durian flavors. The price would range from RM4 - RM12 a piece. So many varieties of mooncake to choose from but I guess like any festival, the reason for all the celebration is to bring family together, the young meet the old, the old tell stories of forgotten years over sweet delicacies.By the way, you can get the mooncake mostly all bakery or cake house, they even come with fancy boxes too.
