Here in the Philippines, the festival is very popular among Filipino Chinese families. One way of celebrating this festive holiday is to have a family and friends gathering, play the famous Dice game and eat mooncake afterwards. But don't ask me for the details of the dice game since it has been more than 10 years since I last played the game, but I guarantee you it's pretty fun and exciting. :) But anyway, what I truly enjoy during the holiday are the Mooncakes!
Mooncake is a Chinese pastry wherein it has a thick yummy filling of lotus seed paste, then in the middle part inside it contains a yolk of a salted duck eggs which symbolizes full moon.
A few weeks ago my sister went to Hongkong for a short vacation and I am happy and pleased that she bought home some ♥Mooncakes♥

Hello Sey! How ya been? The cake decorating lessons are getting stressful every week because of the weather. I have to redo the Roses, sampaguita and lily petals that I've made. :( I just hope that Mr. Sun would come out so I can make beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou should try mooncakes, I am pretty sure you will love it. :) Don't worry, there's always next year! hihihi
You are very welcome beautiful ladies! :) Eng Bee Tin have different flavored mooncakes, I haven't tried the flavored ones yet, I always settle for the original because I have a feeling I will not like the flavored mooncakes. :)
