A Mooncake Day

Thanks to Wiki

OK, I just ate half of a mooncake and I think I am going to die. It is like eating half of a Death by Chocolate cake. The inside is lotus seed paste with a duck egg yolk. Mooncakes are eaten today because in Singapore it is Autumn Festival (Zhongqiu) today. 

Now, I did not worship the moon, but I do feel like the moon. There is a legend which states that the fall of the Mongolian rulers happened with messages smuggled in mooncakes.

Lanterns are a big deal today for this feast day.
