Every year, Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar. This year, it falls on October 6, 2006. The traditional food of this festival is the moon cake. Moon cake, which used to have limited varities, now have hundred of varities to choose from.

Häagen-Dazs Ice-cream Mooncake coated with rich Belgian chocolate
Well, though I don’t really fancy mooncakes, Häagen-Dazs and Starbucks have pretty good and tempting ones. I have had Häagen-Dazs before and they are so good, they sell like hot cakes. Certain flavors are very quickly sold out in most branches. So get ‘em before they’re all gone!
