Mooncakes: a taste that is out of this world
Of all the foods I have ever tried, the mooncake is my favorite. There are many versions of mooncakes from different places around China. They have a variety of fillings and among them I love the sweet red bean filling best. I remember trying my first mooncake with my family when I was very little. We sat outside in my grandparents’ yard while the full moon shone above us. It was a very special moment. My elderly grandmother still bakes mooncakes for the whole family every year. She can turn the flour and red beans into wonderful mooncakes like magic. When she places them on the table,they look adorable—small,round and shiny golden brown. The delicious smell soon reaches my nose and my mouth starts to water. When I pick up a mooncake, it feels warm and heavy in my hand. As I take each bite, the sweet and mild flavour of the red bean filling slowly fills my mouth. The mooncake is always my favorite because of its satisfying taste that is out of this world and the happy memories it brings to mind.
