Icy mooncake

Icy mooncakes come in all kinds of flavor. The past night, Sept. 12th, was the Chinese mid. Autumn festival, celebrating the full moon with sweet cakes and lighting lanterns. Traditional mooncakes are brown crusted with lotus seeds paste and salty egg yolk fillings. But now mooncakes come in many flavors. During my stay in Hong Kong, I had the rock & roll (brown), cookie and cream(left white), grape(light purple), and almond pudding flavor moon cakes from Saint Honore bakery. I also tried their other flavors, one of my favorite is the Sesame and Pine nut.
