    If you've never had a mooncake I suggest you try one, as they're many flavours so you'll always find something that you'll like 👌
    I hope you enjoy the video and have a great day!

    Love how you have made up names for all the buildings- the pants building and the bottle opener. They should be officially renamed 😂😂

    The ones I tried when I worked in China were EXTREMELY dense. Don't do what I did and take a massive bite and spend the next 10 mins trying to chew it🤣

      Yeah you're right they are very dense. I made that mistake once and I couldn't speak for like 30 mins 😩🤣

    I've never tried the flaky or the snow skin mooncakes. I've only had the traditional ones. My favourite fillings are lotus paste with two egg yolks and also the mixed nut ones with egg yolks. Do non-Chinese like mooncakes? I somehow doubt it.

    • @arafsadventures
      @arafsadventures  Месяц назад

      Ah nice! I like the traditional sweet ones a lot, really tasty 👌
      Well when I lived in the UK I didn't even know what a mooncake was, so I don't think many in other countries know about them, but they should start selling them in big supermarkets back home, as I think a lot of people will buy them

      Chinese chess is even more complicated, the variations of moves are almost multiplied, and that is despite the fact that there are millions of moves in traditional chess.

    Basically you have the Jiangsu style moon cake and Cantonese moon cake in your video. Both are traditional, it is just the ingredients and production process are different. In Shanghai, you also have fresh meat moon cake.
