还有巧克力月饼和Hagaan-Daz冰淇淋月饼! Chocolate and HD ice-cream mooncakes, beat that!!

I'd much rather have a mooncake flavored ice-cream than an Haag&Daas mooncake :-)

我最喜欢的就是豆沙陷的,莲蓉还可以但不太喜欢双、四黄的。下个星期在伦敦中国城也买了一套小小的月饼(英国做的),不过我发现正常大小比较好。

one thing leads to another... I searched 月病 (yuèbìng) for kicks, turns out 五月病 is a symptom 症状 zhèngzhuàng occuring when starting university... I'd much prefer getting 月饼病 (yuèbǐngbìng), just have to make sure it doesn't turn into a 月饼 addiction 癖子 (pǐzi)

They'll be using mooncakes to prop up broken down cars on the side of the road soon. Or maybe that's just up here...

Lantian, my wife told me that a package of Hagaan-Daz 月饼 costs 700 Yuan and is really hard to get. Goulnik, on the streets I saw a shop advertising "法式月饼" Please enlighten us, how authentic French 月饼 taste like (there we go again: The mysterious China-France food link!).

OK, I just had the best mooncakes this year, from that Ganso bakery. They were like the Chinese equivalent of shortbread... and no salty yellow egg yolk surprise either. Though it was hard to place what flavour they were...

I went to Houston's Chinatown this weekend, and bought some mung bean moon cakes. MMMM, mung bean....

It's a bit late now but I'm sure there could be a interesting lesson with the recipe of the 月饼 before next 中秋节.

Henning, Let me translate for you what your wife was really saying, "If you really love me you will get me a package of Haag-Daaz moon cakes." 哈哈开玩笑。 :)

I have yet to find a mooncake I like.... But then I have given up trying a long time ago. Just never ever had a pleasant experience
