I last ate some about 55 years ago, as a child in Hong Kong. These were just as I remembered them, but then they were imported from HK, so not surprising. Next year we will make our own - and who knows, the moon may even make an appearance!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461759848289268517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9200368268339522483.post-39400434658653034652016-09-17T19:57:28.258+01:002016-09-17T19:57:28.258+01:00Hi Christine, Poppy is Chinese, so we felt it wa...Hi Christine, Poppy is Chinese, so we felt it was really important to do a bit of celebrating with her, especially as it was so close to her birthday, too.
