Little Moon Cake shops started popping up all over the city about three weeks ago kind of like firework huts pop up in the States around the 4th of July. These little stands sell beautifully decorated little cakes to celebrate Mid-Autumn. I had been asking and asking when they celebrate and no one knew. They just kept saying the lunar year. I have now found out that it is on Sept. 22 - the Equinox. Also tasted my first cake today - green pea, egg, jasmine and vanilla - it was delicious with a strong perfume taste so only a few bites;).
