Moon cake is a sweet cake with what tastes like a candies egg yolk in the middle, surrounded by what must be candied egg white (i've tasted a type of din sum similar to this), with a pastry outsi ...[text shortened]... saved me some moon cake, and gave me one when we went for a meal on Sunday.

Much tastier than a moon cake, that's for sure...
I haven't finished it, but i had to try it, well.. .because you just have to do these things, and when your girl friend gives you a moon cake, you just gots ta. 😴😴😴
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundThe one I had was about 10 cm x 10 cm and I couldn't even eat half before I started to feel ill. It was incredibly thick and also pretty dry. And it tasted like mashed beans and pee pee juice.

Originally posted by darvlayThe one i had, was like the one pictured on the web link i posted, and was a little sickly sweet to eat half, i think you're only supposed to eat a segment. Did yours have a yellow centre (the candied egg yolk) ?

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundYeah, but I had no idea it was egg yolk although thinking back it had the same kind of texture. I tried to read the label for the nutritional content and to see how big a serving size was but it wasn't printed on the wrapper so I figured you were supposed to eat the whole thing. Half way through I realized it was the sickest thing I had eaten in a long time. LOL.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundAh. I think I have had one of those. I certainly haven't had a moon pie, though. Those sound quite similar to smores, which I learned about in the photo comp (in that connection I also looked up what Graham crackers are, apparently something similar to Digestives).
No mate.
