Moon Cake, produced by Lee-Cake store.(2011)
I went to Lee-Cake before mid-autumn festival in September, every employees were so busy stacking up thousands of moon cake gift boxes from ground to ceiling.
Most people in Chinese culture eat moon cakes for celebrating the festival, this is the day for family reunion, also is one of the most important holiday in a year.
Lee-Cake is a century-old store, it located in Dadaocheng, where is used to be a lively trading port in the 19th century, and still a historical tourist site in Taipei. The Lees' is making Chinese style confectionaries from Ching dynasty, famous for a kind of moon cake called "Pinsi", and that is the reason I came here. In stuffring of Pinsicakes is made from white beans, sweet but not greasy, melt in mouth instantly.
It is fun seeing bakers making Pinsicakes, I like the step of stamp the name "Pinsi" on cakes, that make them look more attractive.
