2016 Mid-Autumn Day is September 15. It is a traditional Chinese festival to celebrate harvest time, family and friendship. Yes, it is kind of like Thanksgiving Day. Mooncakes will be served as the traditional dessert on this special day.

I love to make them from scratch every year not just because it is fun to do so, but also because I am trying to create the taste of home for my own family O(∩_∩)O~

Mooncakes with yolks and lotus seed paste may sound bizarre. As a matter of fact, they are so tasty that they remain the number one flavor on my mooncake list. The combination of salted duck egg yolks and sweet creamy lotus seed paste is very pleasantly balanced and wonderfully tasty.
