MoonCake (月饼)

[Search4diabetescure]

I grew up with this pastry, but my significant other told me that I need to give this up.

Ay Yah.

Growing up is so hard to do.

[lemonadeluv2547]

I saw these in Sagwa(:

[plumeria66]

My favorite dessert!

[MrSparklehooves]

This is the most seductive video about food i've ever seen...

[vivistine]

:( i want it!

[Daniel79876]

wow

[JugglingForCake]

I ate this in China this summer, a delight! love the egg yolks.

[Samhiuys]

I'm Chinese and it fascinates me that so many Westerners don't know wtf is mooncake. 月餅. 我們有一個節叫中秋節，我們就在中秋節時吃月餅。

You guys probably don't even know about 冰皮月餅. Sigh....

[vancityguy]

@Samhiuys I live in Vancouver, British Columbia. Believe me, everyone here knows what it is.

[lemonadeluv2547]

Urr. I saw mooncakes on Ni Hao Kai Lan... and on Sagwa. But eww. They look kinda icky in real life. But the inside look like chocolate in Sagwa.

[sexoja23]

question: that cakes taste very good ? they are sugary ?

[Sophiethefembot]

[iMapleMochi]

@busdriver153 also the lotus paste is the best next to red bean paste but that's just my opinion :D

[iMapleMochi]

@busdriver153 ha no silly ^-^ it is a Chinese traditional sweet but you can buy any day in San fransisco :) it is called Yue bing (moon cake) my grandmum used to make this for me it was my favorite :3 (I'm Chinese Japanese Cambodian Laos and Vietnamese so I get lots of different food from various orgins :D)

[busdriver153]

Wow!!  yummy!! is that japanese food?

[ji1love]

@busdriver153

It is China food.



[TheBlessedbabi]

ive left a moon cake in my fridge for over a year and it still looked fresh O.O

[joannetnq]

@TheBlessedbabi Mooncakes really lasts a long time since the paste is so sweet that it pratically preserves the whole thing like honey. However, if it's been there for a year, you're better off giving it to a friend!! (it's a joke within chinese community that you do that... >.<)

[oxford1603]

I love watching a professional baker. Thank you very much.

[LokBuddha]

i like sun cake better

[GoatseObama]

Wow I have only had the lotus guess the other flavors must be more expensive .

[PenileFracture]

om nom nom nom nom

[animekevin1024]

Yeah love Mid Autumn Festival!

[sofarsogood9]

Moon cakes in Canada costs bout 6 bucks apiece(the egg one) and recently moon cakes in China were jacked up on price aswell.... Not many people like moon cakes being too sweet and greasy.

[rekcufeht]

@sofarsogood9 no one likes em cus no one gets em from lousy suppliers.

[sofarsogood9]

@rekcufeht 6 bucks a moon cake is straight up rip off, it doesnt even taste that good.

[Vojak3]

How does it taste? What is the black thing inside?

[bayandsl]

i like to eat mooncakes especially with yolks

[DarkMuu666]

I just had my first moon cake today. It was white lotus filling with duck yolk in the middle(they were minis). Wow, I like them quite a bit!

[GUNDAMZGOK]

wow i love the salt egg, i'm vietnamese, and this time in vietnam is nearly moon festival too!! i was eaten moon cakes with the green bean+salt egg inside....

[Adoth93]

I LOVE THE RED BEAN MOON CAKE THE BEST THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE.

[shimonlau]

can also buy at shimon dyuemall



[shimonlau]

Moon cake festival coming soon

[sincityfire]

Thats why there so expensive?

[xMallori]

I just had red bean paste moon cakes in my Mandarin class and they were AMAZING!

[MsHatakekakashi]

they seem amazing!!

[DSBrekus]

anyone else just randomly type in moon cake into the search bar? xD

[boooz3]

yeah

[10enstar]

Yeah i did lol

[zacane9]

LOL ME XD

[Ward8668]

@DSBrekus i did bro i was thinking what can be more random

[bunny153649]

@DSBrekus lol i know what it is but i still randomly type it

[Iivelaughlovelust]

@DSBrekus LOL i did, but only cuz im eating one right now.

[eveaay]

@DSBrekus LOL. YEAH. I was hungry.

[johnson1095]

@DSBrekus

i just typed it in so i could see what they were haha

[darkAngelLuna]

yummy.. ;]

[ryanpattummalee]

Man right know im eating a mooncake i know some where in st.louis that sell mooncake it in a high price for 12pic is about 39-49$ it woth it to get moon cake

[Derkks]

Umm I'm going to say no. Because if you want high quality moon cakes, they usually cost that much for around 4 of them. and for a 12 piece? it's probably cheapo mainland Chinese made. Not the high quality Hong Kong made ones.

[KH132]

i like mooncake with no egg inside

[rlf4403tube]

today's the mooncake festival???

[sk8eroz]

im afraid it is

=)

[baboon500]

looks delicious

[hammy012]

I WANT MY MOONCAKES!!

[chisane995]

I'm finnaly goin to a asian store sunday . so far away...

hope they have mooncakes. :D

asian pride~~

[Svendogga]

I just ate 1/2 a Mooncake and I want more but it is not good if you want to loos weight........

[Brooklyn082285]

lol I was going to say the same thing.

[SupernaturallyBAMed2]

Very true. It's very rich and fattening. But it tastes so damn good. I'd rather have moon cake shops around my town than Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks.

[XxKrystalDeathnessxX]

i thought cake is u know sweet?

[thibaulthalpern]

Hmm....i have never heard of molasses used in this kind of pastry. Chinese use either red bean paste or lotus paste. The one that looks blackish red is red bean paste and the one that is yellowish is lotus paste. There are other varieties but this is most common. Molasses? Never heard of it.

[xapradox]

Can I find moon cakes at local asian supermarkets? I would love to try one

[thibaulthalpern]

Yes you can. You can find them basically year round now in Chinese bakeries. At Chinese supermarkets, you usually have to wait until around mid-autumn festival which is around mid or late September in the western calendar. Go to the supermarkets say in August and you'll find them. There many kinds besides the one in this video. The ones shown is classic southern Chinese style. Northern Chinese and Taiwanese ones look diferent.

[RapidEyesCream]

so whats the difference between taiwanese, s.chinese, and n.chinese?

[strongestass]

taiwanese, excluding a small percentage of aborigines related to polynesians, are mostly of Chinese descent from either Fujian province or from the retreating Republican Chinese 69 years ago.

And the notions of Northern and Southern Chinese is a fallacy, there is no clear line to define that boundary, so today the definition is mostly given by dialects--whoever speak Mandarin as their native tongue is generally considered N Chinese

[RapidEyesCream]

no i meant the differences between the mooncaked

[RapidEyesCream]

mooncakes*

[xDisRazyboix]

Every asian ethnicity use different ways to make their Mooncakes.

[RapidEyesCream]

asian? even cambodians and koreans make mooncakes?

last time i checked it was a chinese thing

[xDisRazyboix]

I know it's a chinese thing because my family always celebrates it which the moon cake festival is coming up soon. And dude I am half combodian and chinese? So what happens there? And plus the mooncake festival is not really a chinese thing but celebrated all the way in ASIA or HK.

[lanchi672000]

i didnt eat Mooncake for 5 years . I love it .

[UnaChicaBond]

¿Alguien sabe si los venden en Argentina?

[10gmcgee]

es posible...pero es facil hacerlos en la casa! :)

busca en la red, son muchas recetas de mooncakes.

[rominaangel]

mmmm pastel de luna!! XD

[darkAngelLuna]

that is soo cool!!

xD

[nilbog]

Those look so delicious. I'd love to try all of them. Did anyone else notice that the cook took out the hot tray of cooked food with his BARE HANDS?! Ouch.

[kizure7]

yeah i saw that and i was like he must have really thick calluses!

[angsuz]

what is the meaning of fish shaped one  ?

[danielch]

the pronunciation of "Fish" in Chinese is the same as the one of "Surplus". So the fish shape wishes you have more & more surplus of wealth in the coming year.

[koishy868]

Cool!It's like playing with play dough!I prefer the dark lotus paste without egg.

[Robotnik722]

I like the ones with just the yellow paste, and also egg sometimes

[lyjacknt]

I LOVE THE yeallow one and the dark colour ONE THEY TSTE THE BEST

[supert0ast]

Wow! Awesome. They all look very pretty. :D I want to try the lotus paste one!

[camaramike]

Hello i am from Mexico and i want to know if this cake is originally from China or Japan, or in most of the countries in Asis you can buy them? i received a package from one of my suppliers in China, he sent me a box with 3 different flavors, and i really did´t like it. do you know how much does it cost each?

[123Icetail123]

I believe it's from China. I'm 99.9% sure ;-)

[danielch]

It's 100% traditional Chinese food to celebrate Mid-Autumn Day (also known as "Moon Festival"). It's a time for family reunion

[xDisRazyboix]

It's usually bought 4 in a box which can vary in prices from $20 to $50 or even $120 depending on the type of mooncake you are getting.

[sincityfire]

@camaramike For the most expensive one they can reach up to $10 each, least expensive could be $3 each.

[doodleqii]

@camaramike With tons of modified flavours these days, some flavours taste really weird. The traditional flavour would be the one with lotus paste in it :) unless, your supplier gave you lotus & you already didn't like it then I guess you just don't :(

[bayandsl]

@camaramike its originate from china

[bayandsl]

@camaramike in philippines one case of mooncake it cost around P350 and above

[iEatFFFBS]

@camaramike there r the icy ones as well they r way nicer

[taylorswift091196]

@camaramike you can find variations in Vietnam too, but since it's a Chinese specialty and there are so many Chinese in Asia you can find them almost anywhere like in Singapore and Malaysia too. It's for a pretty price most of the chain and traditional stores sell them at one for $8.50. The big one.

[magical11]

@camaramike It's from China. On another note, alot of Traditional Japanese stuff is shared between China and Japan to some extent. It's like saying everything traditionaly English is English, but in actuality many of their things are influenced by France. Same with Japan.

[snillocgrom]

@magical11 Tsukimi is the Japanese version of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was carried over to Japan during the Heian Period (Tang Dynasty China) and both honor the harvest moon. But Japanese eat dango while Chinese eat mooncakes, makes sense, since mooncakes were invented much later in China long after the Heian-Tang diplomatic relations ended.

[wireup]

[AsianxGirl13]

i usually tell my mom to buy the ones without the yolk.

sometimes the green tea or just lotus.

[bamboodlesh]

i like the kind the the red bean paste and the green tea crisps inside

[R2A2C]

This Looks Good. Where Can I Buy It?

[jjji4ng4]

You can buy them at a chinese supermarket. (Americanized China town)

[ryanpattummalee]

if u want to buy it right know in st.Louis some part of it have Asian store but for a dozen is like $19 it because some company in China do sent make much of the moon cake.

[virgoom]
