Well, I missed moon cake season again this year, but as luck would have it, I am surrounded by Asian-type markets here in Northern Virginia. The lunar celebrations these delicacies are famous for are all harvest celebrations, so I figure these are good for the Halloween season as well, even if it is a month past the official time to eat them.

The ones I bought are filled with durian paste, so I can’t wait to try them. For some reason, though, they are remarkably scent-free, unlike durians in the wild. At least I acted within the first few months and was able to get a couple of these cakes to photograph. They seem to last forever, like the Chinese version of fruitcake, so I suppose I can photograph these for quite a while before eating them.
