docride Mooncakes are best to be eaten. Traditional baked mooncakes consist of a thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. These days, modern mooncakes are made with a host of other fillings ranging from chocolates to fruits to whatever the can chef think of. Mooncakes are eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival which falls on the 15th day of the Eighth month of the Lunar Calendar. This year that happens to be on September 14.

Thanks ms piggy for the detailed explanation and the bigger image of NumNum and mooncake.

I am such a sucker for cute soft toys. So Num Num is a mikan, Japanese?

 

[ms piggy]

The fact that Num Num being a mikan is orange is so apt for H!

[Lutz]

Yes ms piggy. The mikans are Japanese. Some of them are crazy for Hermes.

 

[Chipper]

Those mikans are cute! I miss the fieldtrips we used to have at school, to go mikan picking!
