Mid-Autumn Festival or Moon Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month of the year, on the night of the full moon between early September and early October.
In Taiwan, people celebrate by eating Mooncakes which are dense pastry-like cakes with different sweet and savoury centres such as egg yolk, red bean, and meat which symbolise the moon.

People also eat Pomelos - large, pale green citrus fruits that taste a bit like Grapefruit

One of our favourite things about Mid-Autumn Festival is that lots of people celebrate by having a barbecue!
Barbecue - Taiwan style! Barbecued squid, anyone?!
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
