Happy Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節)!!

My family will be celebrating by making tay (sorry I don’t know the English translation or proper pingying for that word), so let me just show you. Below are some photos of Grandma’s tay:

Grandma has secret recipes for all her tay. One day, I’m hoping she’ll share with me. ^______^

Of course, we’ll also be digging into mooncake. My aunt got a variety of different flavored mooncakes (sans yolk) from a Starbucks in Shanghai.

  • Hope you had a great moon festival!! We celebrated with some friends of ours Saturday ^_^
  • Hi Tiff,

    Thanks, I had a wonderful moon festival with the family! Sounds like you had a lot of fun celebrating, too. Did you try the moon cake and hear tales of the lady and jade bunny on the moon?

    Cheers,
    Ninja
  • I ate the moon cake (we do this every year so I had eaten it before) However Yin has never told me the story of the lady and jade bunny. I would like to hear it ^_^
