IllinoisDave Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 A classmate of my wife's from her elementary school days happens to live in one of Chicago's northern burbs. They've invited us over for mooncakes. We're both looking forward to it. Link to comment

Yuanyang Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 We're putting out our Moon Festival lights and of course the traditional MF Tree with the usual decorations of cakes (artificial), Moon lights and hanging Mongols (with and without their heads attached). Link to comment

Dennis143 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I will be attending our annual Moon Festival at our church. We usually have a turnout of ~100 mostly Chinese friends and families. It will be on the patio, under the moonlight of course. We'll have potluck along with American BBQ. There will be a Karoke and an open mic where, usually, everyone takes turns singing traditional songs from their area of China. It's my favorite Chinese celebration. It often becomes a very nostalgic evening for everyone. Link to comment

I got so warped with Peranakan style moon cakes in Singapore, then BOOM - they make all kinds of stuff you won't see anywhere else on top of it all ... NOW ? Get yer Haagen Daas Moon Cake. That took some work, but it'll pay off this year. I project their sales to boom by 1200 percent during the week. ICE CREAM IN MOON CAKE. YUM ! Link to comment
Yuanyang Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ok folks. It's truth time. Lao po's description of moon-cakes matches our stories of fruit cakes. That it, the same ones are passed around every year. Now that's her family's experiences... does someone have a really tasty moon-cake source? recipe? Link to comment
