KL Bought Mooncake To Surprise Me (2005-09-26)
You know how I keep saying how much I miss Hong Kong's mooncake? The full moon in Mid Autumn Festival reminds me of nothing but the delicious mooncake made of lotus seed paste and duck egg yolks I grew up eating in Hong Kong. And I only like the mooncake from one HK maker, Wing Wah. I don't like any other brands, I don't care if those manufacturers have been making mooncake for a thousand years.
A couple of weeks ago, I found out Wing Wah sell mooncake online to
many parts of the world! I got all excited and asked KL to order
a box, but he didn't like the flow of the order procedure of the site.
On top of that, the site did not encrypt all the information entered.
Being a security freak, KL isn't too happy about giving out personal
information on such sites, therefore the mooncake shopping idea was
scraped. I understood his concern but I was pretty disappointed
nonetheless.
Then one afternoon last week just three days before Mid Autumn
Festival, a courier delivered a package to us. It was rather
heavy and just when I was wondering what KL might have ordered, I saw
the Chinese words on the back of the package: Wing Wah double
yolk mooncake!!
That sneaky crafty lovely little husband of mine has gone on a
stealth mooncake shopping spree to give me a wonderful surprise.
Just looking at the box makes me drool! I can't recall the last
time we ate mooncake. KL said it was six yrs ago but I think it
could be longer than that.
This past Mid Autumn Festival was particularly enjoyable to
me. We ate my favorite Wing Wah double yolk mooncake and took
pictures of the big ol' moon. I didn't have to dream about mooncake when I looked
at the moon, I was taking actual bites of this fattening and sickly
sweet treat.
Life has many ups and downs. On Sep 18, its ups was in my mouth and downs in my stomach.
