Mooncake

It was on Thursday the 5th and I attended an event at a club where we had to make our own mooncakes. There were different flavors. First, we played a game where each person says the falling number and when a number is a multiple of 5 or 8 they would have to clap. For example, 10,15,16, etc. They had to clap. If they mess up, then they had to answer questions. They then went over the background information behind the mooncakes. They even said how you say mooncake in Chinese, we had to repeat multiple times until we get it correct. After that, they showed us a video multiple times on how a mooncake is made until they thought we were going to be comfortable making them. I was not sure if I was able to eat them because I am vegetarian so I didn’t eat them, but I sure had fun making them. They gave us two different types of dough to choose from and three different fillings to choose from. The fillings were chocolate, green tea, and yolk. I was randomly given one, so I just used it. They gave us one glove to work from because there were a lot of people and not enough gloves that made it even harder to turn it into a close to a perfect sphere. A guy next to me gave up because his filling which was chocolate kept coming out of the dough. Thankfully mine wasn’t chocolate, so it was easier to cover the filling with the dough. At the end, after I was done, I gave it to someone else to eat it and they said it was good, but I am pretty sure it wasn’t because I messed up so many times. As a result, I realize that I am not a good cook and had a lot of fun, which added to one of my best experience on the campus.
