I'm surprised to receive this snack from my mother, she said it was given by our neighbor, oh how I like mooncakes. Of course, I like its taste and flavor.
Our Taiwanese neighbor's wife a sweet Filipina shared mooncakes to us, she is very kind and generous, as a matter of fact since they became our neighbor she is not only sharing food to us but also other things too, she is so thoughtful and charitable.
While I was eating my share of mooncake, there was a twist of flavor inside, I was so surprised while eating it halfway I noticed something yellow in the middle of it and it was actually the egg yolk. It was my first time to eat a mooncake with whole egg yolk on it.
I remembered I joined a Mooncake festival years ago, the event includes night run sponsored by the Rotary Club whose chairwoman happened to be also our neighbor. The Mooncake festival was organized by a Chinese community in partnership with the Rotary Club Night fun run event.
The Night fun run was the first part of the event then followed by the Mooncake festival wherein a raffle like game was played then the players will win a Mooncake as a prize and it comes in different sizes depends of the level of the game played.
It was a very fun night, I received a finisher's certificate and I also won a big size Mooncake as a prize. I never expected to win a jumbo size Mooncake in playing the game. I was excited to bring it home for my family to share it with them. I like Mooncakes and receiving Mooncakes as a prize won from a game or generously given by a neighbor is extra special.

Photos are mine.
I've seen the tradition of sharing moon cakes to the neighbours only in k drama it's usually also in your country? It's a lovely tradition.
Fortunately, our neighbor is very kind and generous, her husband is the Taiwanese I think during mid-autumn festival they do that and share with their neighbors in Taiwan. I was lucky to join a Mooncake festival and only at that time I enjoyed a gathering with Mooncakes as the give aways. I am surprise that Koreans also have a tradition of Mooncake sharing. I think they got it from Chinese when I watch historical K drama I can see Chinese characters so they have strong connection and cultural influence.
That was very nice of them. That being said I have never had a Moon Cake that I thought actually tasted nice. Maybe the people who gave them to me were giving me the cheap ones :)
Glad to have wonderful neighbors like them 💞
I'm just not sure if it was a duck egg yolk. Which mooncake flavors have you tasted? Not sure also which flavors or brand are the expensive ones.
