To the Chinese, Moon Cake Festival festival is similar to the American Thanksgiving holiday. On the special day, joyous family reunion. For some people who prefer to be with their loved ones spending a romantic night together to enjoy looking at the sky with the brightest moon of the year. Traditionally celebrated outdoors under the moonlight, people eat moon cakes and gaze at the moon. In modern times, barbecues with families and friends are also common.
Moon cake is for Moon Festival. Today, moon cakes may be filled with everything from traditional lotus seed, and fruit to cheese. More exotic creation is green tea moon cakes. Haagen-Dazs has even gotten into the act by introducing a line of ice cream moon cakes in here. I have had a Haagen-Dazs ice cream moon cake. Though ice cream moon cake is yummy, I like mungbean cake best.
