Mooncakes should be on sale today. Check out your local T & T Supermarket. They usually discount the stuff after the festival.

  I found cheaper ones in Chinatown plus they're much fresher there.

Mooncakes. I'll keep my eye out. Will do a search for chinese markets doubt I'll find any though.

I hope you're able to try some because they're really delicious. Never mind the calories though. As for the price, there's a reason why these babies are expensive. The stuff takes a long time to make and it's not easy to make them.

  My favorite has gotta be the plain lotus seed ones. I don't mind the egg yolks but prefer the plain ones.

Hmmm, I don't know where all the asians hang out here since there's very few of them around. Sucks, because I like asian people. But they built this asian centre at my library so I guess I could try there.

Well, wish I can help you out there, SD but I know next to nothing about where you live.

  I'm so lucky to be in Vancouver. Lotsa Asians around which means wider selection of food.

Yeah I know there's only about 5,000 asians around. And its boom times for the asian population there used to be like 5 around here. Its depressing.

I have made mooncakes only once.  However, the only reason I made them (oblivious to the interesting history and lore) is because I found one of the beautiful molds at a funky kitchenware place in San Francisco.  Had to have it....had to try it.  That's exactly the type I made, Lise.  The Lotus seed paste with walnuts and the red bean ones.

They aren't TOO hard to make, but they are fussy.  The two kinds of pastry dough that they are wrapped in is the tricky part. (kind of the same method as puff pastry)

Wow, PC. I'm impressed by your culinary skills! You gotta teach us all one day.
