Turnin...<b>Hey Kristy,</b> I love tins and I collect them. Turning into a bad habit but at least I can use them to store stuff if I like!<br /><br /><b>Hey April,</b> that's the agricultural history - there's also the legend and the historical 'myth' you can read about if you're interested.<br /><br /><b>Hey Reemski,</b> the packaging tends to be traditional but I quite like it that way too.<br /><br /><b>Hey Sara,</b> mooncakes really are a once-a-year food.<br /><br /><b>Hey Maria,</b> they're quite fatty but they are a celebratory food which is not eaten at any other time.<br /><br /><b>Hey Ladybird,</b> there's the newer snowskin mooncakes which are more like ice-cream mochis. Much lighter to eater and very popular with the young 'uns but definitely not keeping with tradition there.<br /><br /><b>Hey Dolly,</b> I grew to love lotus seed paste during my early teens - it gets stuck to the inside of your mouth like peanut butter!<br /><br /><b>Hey Thang,</b> that's not just any man - he's an emperor! Both tins above are actually differing packaging of the same brand.<br /><br /><b>Hey Conor,</b> thank you!Rita (mademoiselle délicieuse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12353807765589132835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-45992191392468475762010-09-26T22:56:06.262+10:002010-09-26T22:56:06.262+10:00Happy mid-autumn festival to you too :)Happy mid-autumn festival to you too :)Conor @ Hold the Beefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526209428409988896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-49848554904465957622010-09-25T19:26:39.489+10:002010-09-25T19:26:39.489+10:00the version with the man on the front seems popula...the version with the man on the front seems popular, my parents had them too when i went over. i haven't seen the other maiden one, they look really cutethang @ noodlieshttp://www.noodlies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-873886455498285992010-09-25T19:17:16.750+10:002010-09-25T19:17:16.750+10:00yum, the best part of the moon cake is the preserv...yum, the best part of the moon cake is the preserved salted duck egg..<br /><br />i still have yet to devour one.. how sad =(<br /><br />happy moon fete to u and ur family =)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233899478263301431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-3706288630542608192010-09-25T18:04:59.820+10:002010-09-25T18:04:59.820+10:00I'm not a huge fan of moon cakes, but I think ...I'm not a huge fan of moon cakes, but I think they look gorgeous, especially the packaging!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228058237678938496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848781013603271056.post-31366616941280002392010-09-25T04:58:34.175+10:002010-09-25T04:58:34.175+10:00Interesting!
