Learn Cantonese - Social - Post-Mid-Autumn Festival
After learning about mid-autumn festival, we want to try more mooncakes. This is a social event where we can trade (new) mooncake boxes. Take advantage of the highly-discounted mooncake packages in stores, and we'll have a post-mid-autumn festival mooncake tasting & celebration!
Location (In-Person):
5100 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON
Foodcourt tables
Mooncake tasting and exchange (White elephant):
1. First round: Draw and receive new mooncake box
2. Second round: Select desired mooncakes to additionally try
3. Learn something: History of mid-autumn festival/mooncakes; describe origin of various mooncake flavours!
4. Social Tasting: Open the boxes to be shared for communal tasting
Details:

More details to come & subject to change depending on the demand. I would like to arrange to try the following non-traditional mooncakes. Let's discuss in discussion thread (and discord):
- Jelly mooncake
- Ice cream mooncake
- SuZhou Mooncake (savoury!)
Note: Please bring newly packaged mooncakes; left-overs are not ideal. Thanks for your understanding :).
