Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

It's interesting to celebrate the festival with my co-workers. A colleague brought in some mooncakes today to share with the team and it's amazing how open-minded everyone is as my colleague explained about the festival and the moon-cakes. Questions flew around:
- is it an important festival? I heard that Hong Kongers got a day off.
- Normally we take tea when we eat this. Immediately people offered tea leaves, made tea...
- why do you put egg yolks in there? Are these really duck egg yolks? Is there a reason why you use duck egg yolks? How can you tell that they are duck egg yolks?
- what flavours are these? One is Lotus seed paste; the other is sweet bean paste. One commented that," I like it. It tastes like refried beans." And the Lotus seed paste moon-cake is reborn as the refried beans moon-cake....

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to the Nuts in London, New York and Singapore!
