There is a magical sound that fills us with excitement the moment it echoes through the air: the beat of the lion dance drum at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

“When can we finally ‘break the feast’?” – the timeless question on every child’s lips each full-moon season. Childhood Mid-Autumn memories are always steeped in the fragrance of autumn fruits.

Looking back at the Mid-Autumn Festivals of our childhood, the most treasured possession for us neighbourhood kids was a bamboo lantern wrapped in colourful cellophane.

People often say the taste of Mid-Autumn is the flavour of mooncakes. But only as we grow up do we realise that the sweetest flavour of the August full moon is the taste of reunion.
