a couple years back a Asian man dropped off moon cakes at more work. I was like hey these look good and had a bite. Never will I ever try one again they are so nasty. Beyond a way to make a quick dollar due to tradition.

If I ever get handed some mooncake I just eat the yolk. The crust isn't bad either, TBH. It's the bean paste that is nasty.

I don't know what's wrong with you guys.
I like lotus seed paste.
I have a feeling you're taking one massive bite and then spit it out cause it's like lotus paste overload.

Mooncake NEEDS to be paired with tea in order to not be nasty. The max I can eat in one sitting is still a quarter slice though. Had some of those pansy cold dessert mooncakes too, they now have tons of new flavors like coffee and weird fruit combinations which are really bland

The frozen ones are even worse, IMO. Instead of lotus seed, which actually isn't too bad, they use mung bean paste. Combined with horrible artificial flavours (the cheesecake ones taste like cheez whiz), and no yolks, they are far worse than the traditional ones.

Never had a Mooncake before...a cake that contains beans and a whole egg yolk? Doesn't sound very appetizing...?
Oh, well, here's my Moon shot:

What time did you take those moon shots? We noticed the moon 'setting' last week around 10:45pm before rising up in the sky again. Is it doing the same thing this week?

The Moon rises and sets at different times everyday. If you have an iPhone there are apps like LightTrac & Sun Seeker that tells you when the Sun and Moon rise and set and will also tell you sightlines, so you can see where in the sky they will be at any given time.

back in the day (1960's) mooncakes were very valuable, MOST people would eat was like half of one at a time, they weren't made to be gorged upon
i heard people even saved throughout the year so they could buy mooncakes at this time of year and go around sharing with neighbours and friends
