Do you celebrate mooncake festival in your country???

Wow, I love moon cake! however I'm not Chinese and we don't celebrate it. The Chinese in the Philippines don't celebrate it either. I asked my Chinese friends just now to bring some moon cake on Monday but they said that they don't have it at home even though there's a moon cake festival. That's too bad.

You mean the mid-autumn festival ? Of course I do. I am from China.We eat moon cake in that day.The mid-autumn festival is a traditional festival in China.Mooncakes are to mid-autumn festival what mince pies to christmas.The seasonal round cakes traditionaly have a sweet feeling of lotus seed past or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon.And the moon is what this celebration is all about .Mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.It is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.This year the festival falls on Sep.14th.

no, we dont generally celebrate that occasion , though we know when it's nearing because we see moon cakes in the department stores being displayed. we have filipino- chinese communities in our country, i am from the philippines but a lot of chinese or half chinese settle and have their businesses in the country

I do, at least where eating mooncakes is concerned..LOL. In fact, my household has already feasted on 2 boxes of mooncakes already in the past 3 weeks, and I am still longing for more. The mooncake festival is celebrated widely here in Singapore. In my condominium estate here, there will be celebrations on the day itself 14th September, which is this Sunday. There will be the distribution of mooncakes and pomeloes, lantern parade, fancy dress competition and a variety show. It should be a fun get-together for the folks here, especially the many foreigners who live here. They can learn to appreciate some of the local traditions such as the mooncake festival. Have fun celebrating, snpyvin.

I dont know mooncake festival and we are not celebrating that.. Most of festivals here in pour country is about patron saints because we are a catholic country.. (Anyweiz, I am not a catholic, I am a christian)... May I asked you a question, Can you please tell something about that mooncake festi? Do you ate cake during the entire celebration.. invite me on the next festival ok? So I will now,, (jowk), lol.. Anyweiz, hope to hear from you! Keep rockin' keep mylotting!

Kinnichihwa! We do celebrate in Tokyo, Japan but not so popular like China do and i think a lot of country where chinese are living in Chinatown they also celebrate this Mooncake Festival. Mnnnn i like to eat mooncake so tasty and sweet like a moon hehe...! Arigatou Gozaimasu, Yama

We have fairs and festivals in certain places, but I have never heard of a moon cake festival.

In here it is not a major celebration but in the Chinese community in my country they do celebrate on their own. My son who is attending in a chinese school is celebrating their festival today in their own school. My wife is also teaching in that school and I am pretty sure there will be plenty of these cakes at home later.

well, i'm chinese, but i live in the philippines, and yes we celebrate it, though i guess only in our community. i go to a chinese church so last night (since usually we have gatherings on fridays) we had our church mid-autumn festival celebration. we played the "bo bing" game with dice and we won lots of stuff lol no major prizes though but i won this almond leche flan which i don't really like, but it was nice heheheh

I am a Japanese-American living in the United States. Never have celebrated mooncake festival. I've seen them seeling mooncakes at local asian markets, but never had one. What's in it and what does it take like?

of course we do! because i come from china ,there are many festival in our country, such as New Year ,mooncake festival and so on .the mooncake festival will coming at once,then almost each person will ask for a leave and go their own home ,watching the moon with their family in this day.

I never even heard of a mooncake festival? It sounds interesting though. United States

heya! well, not all from my country celebrates tiong chiu tsue unlike those from the mainland or in countries where there's a large concentration of the chinese population. here in the philippines, we have a relatively small population of filipino-chinese who still practice the tradition. the good thing about it is that a lot of non-chinese filipinos enjoy eating mooncake just as other practicing chinese do :D also, the fun game of pua tiong chiu involves not only the chinese here :) it's a fun luck game to which anyone can partake in. we're going to have the game in a bit :)

No, I am very unsure of this celebration. This does not sound at all familiar to me at all. Not unless there are others whom celebrates this. I believe that this is a fun and exciting type of festival.. It is fun to be deprived from another country and experience many wonderful, fun and exciting things..

Hello, we celebrate this all the time. This year we already finished celebrating. I don't know why we did it earlier. But it's no big deal. We had some catered food and played the dice game. I didn't win much though. The best part about mooncake festival is the mooncake pastries!! I love the ones with egg inside. I used to not like the egg because it looked gross but now I love it!

Yes we do. I'm from China and Mid-autumn festival is really a grand festival in a year. On this day, relatives from all around the country will take the chance to go home and celebrate the reunionship. From this year on, we will have the vacation with salary in mid0antumn day. That's really great! So, enjoy your day in festival!

yeah i am chinaa `````mid-autumn festival is an important festivau in my country now this festival ia around the corner r u chinese???or do you like china

I'm from Singapore, which is just beside Malaysia for the uninitiated! Here we do about the same, eating mooncakes and chatting with family and friends. Most of us don't drink tea however, unless the family is very traditional. However I heard that in Taiwan, they will organize barbecues. It has become a tradition in recent years especially. Just my 2 cents.

Hi,snpyvin.My name is xiayong.I come from China,so we celebrate mooncake festival every year.On that day,you can eat palatable mooncakes with you family members. As for a kid, he or she can get lanterns.But in my memory,my parents did't have enough money to buy lanters for me and my sisiter when I was young.But we are clever,we made lanters by ourselves.Though they were not so beautiful,they are precious than the bought ones.Definitely,according to tradition,we can eat mooncakes and see the moon together at the same time.But atually,we eat mooncakes without seeing the beautiful moon.May be it's a pity,but we are busy with our lives and we have no time to do something pleasure.So that's my point of view.
