Mid-Autumn Festival Weekend at Botanic Gardens
There is this story about the moon-cake. during the Yuan dynasty (A.D. 1280-1368) China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung dynasty (A.D. 960-1280) were unhappy at submitting to the foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. Backed into each moon caked was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attached and overthrew the government. Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this legend and was called the Moon Cake.
Tadah...! Some general knowledge of the come-abouts of the Moon Cake. And on this 14th of September we're celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival together as a Z-O-N-E! It's high time we met up with our fellow CGs all the way at Expo. :)
