Yesterday, October the 3rd was the Mid Autumn Festival and also my Birthday !
On the Mid Autumn Festival, it is tradition that we eat Moon Cakes !
I personally LOVE them because,a) Its sweet
b) It tastes gooooddd
c) I don't knowanyways the moon cake is a special treat that has a preserved egg yolk and some type of chinese sweet stuffing mixture ? I can tell you that its sweet and if I have made it sound gross, I apoligize.
There are diferent types of mooncakes, one type would be the Frozen Mooncake where the texture is different and they use different ingredients. In the frozen mooncakes they don't have a preserved egg yolk instead the middle is a flavoured sweet thingy it could come in a variety of flavours, like strawberry, chocolate, mango,coffee ect. the rest is also different. Its more powdery, it still tastes sweet but it has more of a pastery background its also cold. I personally HATE those frozen mooncakes. When it comes to Mooncakes I'm original all the way. The Mid - Autumn Festival has many different traditional ways to celebrate it. This festival itself has been celebrated 3000 years ago.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar.
I find all these traditions and festivals amazing. Every year it may be the same festivals but every year I get to celebrate it in a different way. This years Moon Festival was even more amazing because it felt special to have my birthday on the same day. This year I celebrated the Moon Festival with friends and family. I also got a mini frozen mooncake with a candle on top ...
To me, this years Mid - Autumn festival was extra special !

In my family we don't really celebrate the mid-autmun Festival. I see all the moon cakes being sold in the stores near my home. My wife likes them more than I do.
It is a neat thing to have your birthday coincide with a festival that your family celebrates. A double celebration!!
