Happy Mid-Autumn Festival [中秋節快樂]

Snowy mooncake.  No-bake, chilled  mooncake with mochi-like crust.  I didn't make it, we  got it from our local baker.  It's good, and it's not even the best of its kind yet.   This is the first time we've tried it.  This is nothing new, I know, as it has been quite popular for about three decades now.  

I just want to greet everyone a happy Mid-autumn festival.  Hope the weather clears up so we can see the beautiful moon.

*The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is in September or early October in theGregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties. -source: wikipedia
