happy mid autumn festival, 中秋节快乐 from ta happy mid autumn festival, 中秋节快乐 from taipei!  savory, flaky pork mooncakes (xian rou yue bing 鲜肉月饼) >>> all other mooncakes I SAID IT

these are originally from suzhou and were super popular in shanghai where my parents grew up. unfortunately they’re hard to come by in the states, so whenever my parents or i find a place that serves them, we *have* to order them (i trek out to flushing for these whenever i’m in new york). and i love introducing these to my friends who’ve never had them before!

i remember the first time my parents got them at a shanghainese restaurant and i was like huh?? how are these mooncakes? since i’d always grown up with the cantonese-style ones they sell in tins around mid-autumn festival. that was when i learned there’s more than one kind of mooncake 😅

while i hands-down prefer the savory meat version of these, you can also find them filled with sweet fillings like red bean, mung bean, sesame 

have you tried these mooncakes? if so, do you prefer these or the canto style ones?

do you think frozen potstickers count as a meal? o do you think frozen potstickers count as a meal? or do you need more? 

every time i pull out a bag of dumplings for dinner, the boy’s like “soooo what else are we having? should i make rice?” but dude this is all i need!!!

i’m having @eatmamahuhu’s new pork + purple cabbage and tofu + mushroom frozen potstickers which are completely gluten-free (made with rice + oat flour)!! and the packaging is so so cute!
