I’m sure I will get some mooncakes from my neighbors and Chinese relatives as every year, well, I will try it again.

What I never will understand is the high prices in these cakes. I think people mostly pay for the good and attractive packing than the cakes.

I like the ones with lotus filling and no eggs. I generally don't eat things that sweet but with lotus cakes I make an exception.

I must admit that moon cakes are the only Chinese food I dislike. I've eaten at many Shanghai and Suzhou restaurants and always enjoyed every meal, but mooncakes are another story ... Not for me!

I just can't stand mooncakes. Most are way too sweet for me...and some have strange fillings. I try to avoid them each year...Only giving them to others as presents, but I don't eat them myself....only 1-2 maybe....if I have to.

I find that I do not like the traditional flavored moon cakes very much. I am ok with red bean paste, but I am not a fan of salted duck egg yolks.

I like the mooncakes with bean and lotus - no egg - washed down with strong, black, no sugar, Italian espresso coffee to contrast the sweetness of the mooncake. Tradition with a buzz.

The thing called mooncake is a baked pie. Do you agree?
