la Boheme Nyonya mooncake

Today I have mooncake again for breakfast, this time it is the Nyonya mooncake. I brought it from Aeon la Boheme bakery at Desa Setapak for only RM13. This mooncake contains white lotus paste, dried shrimp, chicken floss, and sambal paste in the middle. For those who don't know what a moon cake is, a mooncake is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes are offered between friends or at family gatherings while celebrating the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is widely regarded as one of the four most important Chinese festivals. Typical mooncakes are round pastries and have a rich thick filling usually made from red bean paste or lotus seed paste is surrounded by a thin crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by tea. Here are pictures of me having it for breakfast.
