The wife’s Chinese teammate was kind enough to go into Dublin’s Chinatown and bought us all mooncakes for the recent Moon Festival. This is a harvest festival in China that falls on the autumn equinox and these cakes are shared between family and friends.
So last Wednesday we had this little treat in celebration of the big beautiful moon…
C said they came in a huge variety of flavors, both sweet and savory. She bought us a sweet version and inside was a slightly sweet and very dense mixture of lotus seed paste with a yellow “moon” in the center.
One of the things I love most about being on the road is the myriad of holidays we get exposed to, either from the locals we’re living amongst or from other people on the team. I have every intention of adopting more than a few of these so get ready for some random parties when we move home.
