Now back to eating my moon cakes... ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Sep 11, 2003 10:30 pm ----------------------------------- in Mid autum festival(chinese fes) u get to play with fire and candle and lambs My friend was talking about it :D ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Sep 11, 2003 10:32 pm ----------------------------------- I donno how much fun one can have playing with candles... And I dont even know what lambs are... but fire is fun! "Burn! Burn!" - :twisted: ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu Sep 11, 2003 10:36 pm ----------------------------------- Its like you haven't played with fire :evil: ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Fri Sep 12, 2003 9:25 pm ----------------------------------- if you want to play with fire so much, go to an asian country, preferably China, during the Chinese New Year. I bet you'll love the loads and loads of firecrackers and fireworks that you can buy and set off. i don't know about lambs, but the moon cakes are really really good...in fact, they are soo good, I think i'll have some right about now... ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Fri Sep 12, 2003 10:18 pm ----------------------------------- what is a moon cake? they sound liek they'd probably be pretty good ----------------------------------- AsianSensation Sat Sep 13, 2003 9:49 am ----------------------------------- moon cakes are a kind of pastry, like this shown below. http://www.chinavista.com/experience/moon/cake.jpg it is usually sweet, with fillings of sugar, seasames, dried fruits, honey and other dried goods. Though some people likes the salty version, in which there might be meat and egg yolk(though the egg yolk could also be put into the sweet kind) personally, I like the sweet ones, they are really really good, and they are actually good for you, considering there isn't alot of fat, and never made with butter in it (Authentic Chinese food never requires butter, even in baked goods) ----------------------------------- krishon Sat Sep 13, 2003 7:47 pm ----------------------------------- ye...the filling inside is good :D ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sat Sep 13, 2003 8:34 pm ----------------------------------- hmm, that thing does look pretty damn good ----------------------------------- void Sat Sep 13, 2003 8:56 pm ----------------------------------- yes...good...now if only i could somehow kidnap u and put u to work at my personal mooncake company in which i am the only consumer :lol:
