Moon Cake Frenzy ; My Grandmother's B-Day Celebration

I just got home from a reunion planned by my high school friends and it's already 1:30 am. This is the reason why I don't want coffee to fill me in during late hours, but I guess, that's just for my next entry. As I promised from my previous entry, I'll be tackling all about my grand mom's b-day celebration. Actually, there's not much to tell. We ate outside with some of our relatives and taking pictures was the last idea I could have imagine during that time. I forgot the name of the place but it was somewhere in China Town. We get to have a VIP room that could cater around 12 persons and it offers unlimited use of the video-oke(was that right?) which my sister liked the most for that part of the service.


After the quick celebration, I asked my grand mom if she could by moon cakes for me. I was really craving for it and the reasons we're simple, I saw it on TV. The last time I ate a moon cake was during the Moon Cake festival. Chris offered me a slice of it and it was, well during that moment, was the most delicious moon cake ever.


Moon Cake is one of my most favorite Chinese delicacies. Since I grew up in a Chinese - Filipino oriented family, our taste buds roam around Chinese cuisines and delicacies as well (and just like a typical Chinese family, we love to eat a lot!)


You can buy Moon Cakes at China Town located in Manila. We bought our Moon Cakes at Far Eastern Moon Cake (a redundancy of moon cakes)

1 box will cost you around 440 Php. Its worth it once you get to taste it. There are different types of moon cakes or an assortment if you like. Find the one that you like and order in bulks.

P.S

One piece is more than enough to fill you in. So you might want to share a slice with someone else. Enjoy your Moon Cakes!
