Every once in a while I veer off the path of sanity and attempt the uncharted, the dangerous, the unsurmountable. All in the name of good food, of course. This time it was mooncakes or 雙黃白蓮蓉月餅, Chinese mooncakes for the Mid Autumn Festival, 中秋節.
I decided that this year I would attempt to make my own mooncakes despite never having made them by hand before and, actually now that I think about it, never having eaten homemade mooncake ever in my life. But once the delectable thought entered my mind, who was I to resist?
