We have many Asian friends and when we lived in California we learned about the Chinese Moon Festival celebrating the harvest moon when millions of Chinese look at the full moon while savoring these wonderful delicacies. Robert’s been getting them each year for a long time and now of course has to order them online. So we stood outside on this gorgeous, clear evening and gazed at the full moon and ate this moon cake. There are many flavors and this one happens to be bean paste and like most moon cakes has an egg yoke inside so when you cut it in half you see the moon!
