Mooncakes, oh mooncakes, my favourite cakes season is here! Food gives me happiness and and the epitome joy of eating is when the food is made so intricately with colors and design. I love this Mid-Autumn season of mooncakes every year and look forward to not only enjoy the various flavours but also to the discover the various packaging boxes that comes with it. This is the time I love the fun in exploring and opening the layers of tiny boxes within a big box and trying to guess the flavor of the mooncakes inside whenever I received a gift box of mooncakes. Ya, yours truly is a mooncake addict, and would spend hundreds of ringgit buying mooncakes as there are so many flavors and types of skin to choose from. Example of the different types of fillings with salted egg yolk wrapped with dragon fruit, beetroot, cranberry, rose, osthamus, goji berry, pandan, bluepea flower, greentea, lotus, yam, mixed fruits and nuts, minced pork, red beans, lotus seed, and accompanied by equally appetizing outer layer of skin from the normal baked crust, crunchy shanghai skin to snow skin.
