Today is the first time I’m spending Mooncake Festival alone in a long while. It used to be that my mother would make us have mooncake, tiny yams and that horned coconut tasting thing, which I don’t know what it’s called. We would consume this with good Chinese tea, sitting under the full moon.
So, I decided to conduct my mooncake tasting tonight.
Originally, I wanted just to compare the mooncakes I’d gotten from Hong Kong from Kee Wah and Wing Wah, since out of four people who spoke to me about mooncakes, the preference was split 50-50. But, my sister brought over a specimen from East Ocean, so I put that to the test too.
