Moon Cake is AWESOME! we buy a box.. and finish it before the date actually arrives.. so we buy another.. and then finish that before the data arrives. we go through 3 boxes in a month. and if you think the $20 for 4 prices here are expensive.. i read an article in the LA times (when i lived in socal) and they have crazy moon cakes that cost like $100-500.. EACH. they even had a hello kitty mooncake! the ones i had in socal from the taiwanese plaza's were more jellylike. i wasnt too down with those.

Where in the East Bay can I try some moon cake? I am curious now as to how it tastes. I love international foods. Danville Walnut Creek Area or Dublin Livermore area.

Haha, moon cake is fattening as hell Thank God it's only once a year!
I like the ones with lotus paste or red bean, but I can't stand the salty egg yolk
I think I'll see about procuring a box for la familia....

yeah.. that's wut happened to us.. except we know we're going to eat it so we don't even buy it with the intention of giving it away until the a few days before the actual date

okay, i literally just sampled the following flavors: Red Bean, Green Tea, Pineapple, Lotus Seed Paste, and can't remember the other one. I have to say that the Green Tea and Pineapple Moon Cakes were very satisfying...I had them with some Oolong tea and the flavors complimented each other well. infact, i think I'm going to head back to our upstairs board room and steal a couple more (unless they're really expensive then I'd feel bad).
