Happy Moon Festival........

Every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its maximum brightness for the entire year, the Chinese celebrate "zhong qiu jie." As for the English version of the celebration, some called it the Moon, Mooncake or Mid-autumn Festival. I don't think Malaysian should call it the Mid-autumn festival, what other seasons we have besides summer?? (Think about it, we can have a mid-winter festival and still be sweating like mad 10 hours a day) The seasons we will be facing thoughout the entire year would be nothing more than Raining Season or Non-Raining Season!!!





The second largest celebration in the chinese lunar will never be completed without the Mooncake. The legend has it, overrun by the Mongols in the thirteenth century, the Chinese threw off their oppressors in 1368 AD. It is said that mooncakes - which the Mongols did not eat - were the perfect vehicle for hiding and passing along plans for the rebellion. Families were instructed not to eat the mooncakes until the day of the moon festival, which is when the rebellion took place.





Since the only Mongol known to Malaysian was blown to pieces, we are not in any position rebelling at this point. I guess the mooncake manufacturers knew about this as well and started to commercialize and market their products at an astounding rate.
