I've no idea if these ads are pro or anti-china thread, but it's heartwarming to see that everyone from the normalest normal person to the tankiest cspam wanker knows that the somethingawful forums moderators are paedophiles.

I’ve never had a chance to try a moon cake before and someone brought these into work.  I guess it’s for Tuesday or something? Anyway he’s from the Philippines and his Chinese neighbor gave them to him. He said they are poo poo and that’s why he brought them to work lol.

As someone who likes lotus paste mooncakes, most brands are god awful. More often than not, the crust is dry and crumbly or the lotus paste tastes like sugary play doh. The two reliable brands I've found are Maxim's/Mei Xin or Kee Wah, which sucks because a box from either is about $50.

I remember going to my first lunar festival celebration night at college, me a kid from an extremely homogenous white christian community that had never even heard of that poo poo before. Somebody said that they had 'moon cakes' and drat, that sounded so delicious. Absolutely disgusting.

I am one of the very few people I know (Chinese or otherwise) who likes mooncakes and I don't even like mooncakes that much. The fruitcakes of China. Got to try one if you haven't though. Generally speaking the sesame paste or the duck egg yolk ones are the most likely to be good. If you do find yourself liking it keep in mind one mooncake is approximately 10,000 calories so take it easy.

Got to try one if you haven't though. I'm with you here. There have been mooncakes I didn't like all that much (though the duck egg yolk ones, I don't hate it, they just aren't two flavors that go together for me) but most of them I've eaten I've liked. They're not the world's best cake but they're pretty good, just really loving dense. I feel like you could survive off in the mountains for quite a while with one of those mooncake gift packs. I don't think I've had the sesame paste ones though.

I am waiting till later tonight when I go have some coffee to try the thing. He did say they weren’t a cheap brand though because the guy that gave them to him has money and wouldn’t cheap out on them.

I kind of like moon cakes the one time of the year when you get them, but yeah they definitely are nothing like what someone from the decadent west would consider cake. They're like someone took a plain pop-tart and filled it with a clif bar.

The moon cakes in that photo look like the most terrible generic variety, just judging by the packaging which doesn't appear to even be branded? The egg custard ones you can get now with the liquid custard filling that drips out of the centre are excellent.

This year my wife bought some fancy ones where the egg yolk was flattened into a layer so you get some in every bite instead of one corner that's all egg.

The purpose of mooncakes is to immediately regift them to someone else before the festival ends isn't it?

Something I never knew about but now I want to try. I got one mooncake from a coworker and I choked it down because I was hungry. The thing about "getting one bite of bland and one bite of just egg yolk" is spot on. I had another coworker, the military officer of the school, hand out those japanese style pancake tarts with vanilla creme inside and everyone scarfed those down.

There is a certain variety of mooncake that just has pork in it. They're really good and way better than the sweet ones. I think it might be a regional thing? They look like this:

Soft skin mooncakes y'all. There's a whole variety of flavours and if you get the mini ones there's even less of it to eat. Also the trick is to cut into eights or more and share it with family/friends/work. The best ones are the deep fried flaky skin yam paste mooncakes. Anyway as someone who does mid-autumn every year, a lot of the fun is checking out and snagging the packaging the mooncakes come in. One of my colleagues received a mooncake box that had a chessboard design sunken in just below the lid and it came with mini chess pieces.

Moon Cake time! Definitely a heavy rear end cake!  The center isn’t exactly what I was expecting. Ok so I don’t actually hate it? I wish it were maybe 10% sweeter though but overall it’s not bad! The center kinda reminds me of a fig bar center (with less seeds). I only ate half of it though as it’s really dense and it would be nicer if it were sweeter. Not bad and would probably try it again but wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it.

Is the filling translucent and jelly-like? It looks like you got a winter melon mooncake.

There are many kinds. Quarter of a moon cake is sufficient. Half is too much.

It almost tasted like an empanada? Steakandchips posted:There are many kinds. Yeah a quarter would have been fine but I ate half trying to decide what I liked and didn’t like about it. Overall not bad honestly. It was super dense though and getting through half wasn’t easy.
