IF I talk about Moon Cake, How can i miss the legend of the story, There were many variations to this legend. let me tell you a short legend.

The Mid-Autumn Festival  The central legend associated with Mid-Autumn Festival concerns the goddess Chang'e. This tale tells of how, long ago, the  Earth had 10 suns, the heat of which ravaged the world with a terrible  drought. At the request of the Emperor of Heaven, the great archer Hou  Yi shot down nine of the suns, saving life on Earth. As a reward for this feat,  Hou Yi was given the elixir of immortality, which he hid in his home,  planning to share it with his beautiful wife, Chang’e 

But while Hou Yi was away hunting, his wicked apprentice, Feng Meng, came  to his home to steal the elixir. Chang’e, determined to keep it out of  Feng’s hands, drank the potion and ascended to the heavens, where she  took the moon as her home.

It  is said that, to this day, those who look hard enough can see Chang’e’s  likeness in the moon. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, do not forget to look into the  heavens and admire the moon in its full glory, for this is when its  orbit brings it closest to the Earth 

The  moon should appear a bright yellow, but if it becomes orange or red, do  not mistake this for any part of myth or legend: environmentalists have  said this is the result of dust or pollution in the air.

This is a very Localise holiday.and Singapore celebrate it with style. Get a few of the moon cake and a pot of Chinese tea for your family to enjoy the moon this festive season...
