DOWNTOWN — Sunday is the culmination of all things moon-related, which means the perfect thing to eat is a traditional mooncake.
Not only will Sunday night feature a harvest moon and a supermoon, there's going to be a lunar eclipse. It's also the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, an important Chinese holiday known as the "Moon Festival" where the moon is honored.
And if you're celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, you better be eating mooncake: a round pastry with a thick filling, which might include an egg yolk to mimic the moon.
