Mooncakes
I subscribe to the Asian Food Grocer newsletter and today there was a big announcement about Mooncakes, which I guess means the Chinese mid-autumn festival is coming. I've never had a mooncake, but I'm thinking about shilling out the $35 to try one. They come in packages of two and some of the "flavors" being offered are lotus seed paste with salted duck egg, regular lotus seed paste, lotus seed with pecans, jujube paste with pecans, mixed nut mooncakes, and red bean paste.
Has anyone ever had a mooncake before? I understand you're only supposed to have a small wedge because they're so rich. Do they taste good? What flavor should I get?
