Mid-Autumn Festival

September 12, 2011 is the date for this year's mid-autumn festival, a harvest festival celebrated by Chinese people (also referred to as the Lantern Festival).  Traditionally, this festival is celebrated by eating moon cake, so we set out to find some.

There are a few small chinese supermarkets around Hamilton.  The one we went to did not have much of a selection.  We bought the last two moon cakes, imported from Hong Kong.  They were about $14 - $15 each!  Ouch!  They tasted just like the ones they have back in Toronto...probably because they are imported, just like a lot of the ones in Toronto =P.  Happy mooncake eating!
