Happy Mid-Autumn Moon Festival!

It's that time again where you eat get to delicious traditional Chinese Moon Cakes because a woman decided to choose the moon as her residence after escaping from her own troubles on Earth on the 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese calendar.

For those that don't know what a Mooncake is, it's a Chinese round bakery dessert that's made of lotus seed paste that's surrounded by a thin crust that usually has a salted duck egg inside as the core. Usually the norm is to have one salted duck egg in each one but sometimes it can be either none or up to 3!

How many do you like to have? Personally, I like having none in mine, I think it's a waste of space and would much rather have more lotus seed paste than a salted duck egg.

Two reputable brands: Kee Wah and Maxim respectively

This one is White Lotus with one Salted Duck Egg in each

This one is regular Lotus with no Salted Duck Egg

Deliciousness

Cross Section
Maxim brand was better this year
