Product Description
The Chinese Moon Festival is on the 15th of the 8th lunar month. It's also known as the Mid-autumn Festival. The exact date in the Western calendar changes yearly. In 2005 it falls on September 18. Just like Christmas and Thanksgiving in the West, the Moon Festival is one of the most important traditional events for the Chinese. On that day the Chinese community in different countries celebrate by peaceful gatherings with their loved ones. The Moon Festival is also an occasion for family reunions. When the full moon rises, families get together to watch the full moon, eat moon cakes, and sing moon poems. The full moon is a symbol of promise for abundance, of harmony and luck. The Moon Festival is also full of legendary stories. Legend says that Chang Er flew to the moon, where she has lived ever since. You might see her dancing on the moon during the Moon Festival.

Yummy treats -- worth the money! September 25, 2006

These moon cakes are the best on the market. You can get cheaper ones, but those are without double yolks and certainly don't come in these beautiful collectible tins. You can use these tins for gift-giving or storing jewelry.
The cakes themselves are moist and just the right amount of sweet. If you cut into a yolk, you can actually see oil ooze out. That's the sign of a well-perserved yolk. The price is justified.
