Moon Me

The largest supermarkets in our city have an assortment of products from all over the world to suit the needs of our diverse ethnic population. Last month I saw a mouth-watering variety of moon cakes on display. None, however, looked like this:

In Singapore, they serve a "T-back" mooncake, made for a mid-autumn festival. In Cantonese, the 15th day of the eighth lunar month is a colloquial euphemism for buttocks. The mooncakes are inspired by the Chinese phrase “ba yue shi wu” which means August 15, but  also means “buttocks” in Cantonese.

For the full scoop on mooncakes, and lots of great pictures, go to http://myitchyfingers.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/butts-of-desire/

Thank you, Tommy, for sharing this with us.
