Mooncake for the Chinese is a special dessert eaten during and before the Chinese New Year. It is supposed to bring the entire family together for the lunar new year. In ancient times, the mooncake was an offering to the moon in order to please it so good seasons would come for crops and good luck for the New Year. Mooncakes symbolized the reunion of extended family, a value very important to the Chinese culture. I enjoy moon cake it is both delicious and familiar to me,
