There are lots of versions of mooncakes all over China. They have a variety of fillings among that I love the red bean filling better.
I remember try my first mooncake as a kid. We sat in my grandmother’s yard while the full moon shines brightly. It was very special moment. My grandmother baked mooncakes for the whole family. She turned flour and red bean into wonderful mooncakes like magic. When she placed them on the table, they looked like small, round and golden-brown. The deliciously smell soon reached my nose. When she took each bite, the sweet and mild taste slowly filled my mouth.
The mooncake is always my favourite because of its good taste and the happy memories it bring to my mind.
