According to the legend, during the Yuan dynasty, China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung dynasty were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set out to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. Backed into each moon cake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What followed was the establishment of the Ming dynasty. Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this legend.
Ah moon cakes. They are another must have for this festival. The outer golden brown crust, the inner paste consisting of various flavors, ranging from lotus to coffee and so on activates my salivary glands just by thinking of it.
According to my mummy, I have been demanding for moon cakes ever since i was created hehe. She could eat up a whole box a day. Oops sorry mummy for causing you to have this non stop desire for moon cakes. Its considered as my favorite food and hence, every year, i would consume to like around ten moon cakes per festival. That explains the extra fat i have every year. :( and it never goes away, it never does.
And with that I conclude this post with a picture of my favorite food,
