I mostly just wanted an excuse to buy a wooden mooncake mold, I guess. Malaysian moldy mooncakes? I haven't heard of that - I'm so sorry you couldn't find the ones that aren't, um, absolutely disgusting!

I'm a huge fan of steamed buns of the Asian variety, (filled with red bean or lotus paste or bbq pork) so I have a feeling I'd love moon cakes. So much so that after reading your post I went to my local Chinese grocery to see if they had any. Sure enough, they had a pack of mini ones, but they seemed to be Malaysian, contained the word "chess" in their label for some reason and were covered in mold (which I didn't realise until I got home). Maybe next year, cause ain't no way I'm gonna make them myself, despite these brilliant sounding recipes you found. I love it when ya’ll write about food.
