    Love the wikipedia entry for Mid_Autumn festival:

    Observances: consumption of mooncakes, worship of deities

    WE PLAY WITH LANTERNS TOO

    • robertpc on 31/08/2011 - 21:21

      We Vietnamese call it 'Tet trung thu', celebrating the Moon Festival? Good childhood memories with the lanterns on this certain day. :)

        Thumbs up from a countryman. On the day we celebrate and worship two deities, not the Chinese myth but our own version of Chang E and Hou Yi-Hang-the lady and Cuoi-the troublemaker.

          I don't worship the myth of Hang or Cuoi either, I only worship the reality of free mooncakes.

          Meh, all i believe that Mid Autumn Festival is an excuse for me to eat moon cakes. I think its an Asian thing, though mainly focused on China inc. TW, HK, MC and Vietnam.

    • superkieu on 31/08/2011 - 21:35

      i love moon cakes! they're yummy….
      I too hope the free cakes are not tiny :p

      Mid_Autumn festival is about celebrating the one day of the year where the moon appear biggest and brightest. It's been used traditionally as a family reunion occasion. No worshiping involved.

      Secret: when I was a little kid, I believed hot air lanterns have magical power to fly.

    • blackrider89 on 31/08/2011 - 23:17

      Still don't see why I got negged lol :D.

    That's alot of ink. I sure hope it's not a small moon cake

    • Ahil on 01/09/2011 - 14:51

      i printscreen the voucher (cropped from the large printscreen of course)
      then transfer it to MS Word, that way u can print multiple on the single page; each being to your desired size

  • retiredfeline on 31/08/2011 - 21:08

    Thanks. First day is a Monday. Bet they will be gone long before the weekend. :(

  • ozAzn on 31/08/2011 - 21:26

    hey can you provide a direct link to where you got it? I just want to verify the voucher, so i don't waste my time going to Market City (lunch breaks CAN be spent elsewhere you know…)?

    • flam on 31/08/2011 - 21:42

      I got it through a click through on pureprofile.com so there isn't really a direct link anymore to where I got it from, sorry.

      • ozAzn on 31/08/2011 - 23:13

        because it looks SLIGHTLY photoshopped : note the random boxes around the individual pictures like the 4 mooncakes on the bottom.

        also it looks alot like the banner in the market city website though the website banner does not have the weird boxes.

        Can anyone explain this or better, acutally found the site?

        If not, sadly im going to refrain from printing (dude, alot of ink…) until someone can verify it… (yes, i really do verify my deals usually by googling) or use it successfully!

          Totally fake. Market City are going to advertise fake vouchers on their site so when people turn up with the voucher and get rejected, they'll be obliged to buy something.

      • YadaYadaYada on 01/09/2011 - 00:18

        I got the same coupon through a click through from pureprofile as well.

    • Ace on 01/09/2011 - 00:29

      Just look at the URL…

        So what is it you are saying? That somebody put a fake voucher on a genuine site?

        • tron07 on 01/09/2011 - 09:37

          Hopefully this is a real deal, dont want to reach there to be told "ohh, you need a official voucher, not a self printed one."

      • Ahil on 01/09/2011 - 14:47

        the sarcasm is not strong with this one….

  • Black Hole on 31/08/2011 - 21:53

    I don't care which day it is. All I know is how yummy they are.

      note… not all mooncakes are the same. Some cheap chinese brand tastes really horrible. I usually look out for the HK ones (usually Maxim's) or get the Local ones e.g The Emperor Garden cakeshop on Hay St near Market City.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/09/2011 - 07:31

    why are they c alled moon cakes? :?

    • newguy on 01/09/2011 - 09:08

      Because they are from the moon, haha.
      No, because they are eaten during Mid-Autumn festival when you can see a full moon in the dark night. Their shapes are also as round as a full moon so they are called moon cakes.

    • skytree on 01/09/2011 - 09:37

      It comes from Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Zhongqiu Festival, a popular harvest festival dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty.

      Traditionally on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomelos under the moon together. The moon cake is made on the round image of moon and represents the meaning that all family could stay together.

  • timhn on 01/09/2011 - 09:47

    Meh, I don't buy imported mooncakes anymore. Support your local bakeries. Unless you are after some exotic filling in the mooncakes, the ones made locally are much better. They made fresh daily here and the shops get fresh batch on shelf every weekend during the Moon Festival.

    For a real OzBargainer, wait until the festival over and you'll get 2 for 1 price (ie 2 boxes for price of 1). Not sure when is the day, but you can ask at the shop. And within days, they'll be gone so you need to be quick. I've hardly seen the local cakes still available at the end. Mostly imported ones.

    Edit:
    Also, this is the main reason I stay away from imported mooncakes. News may be old, but the issues remain the same every year this period.

They decise to start now and Just get a Voucher from English or Chinese newspaper (May someone do the search which newspaper?) to get the free mooncake now and don't need to wait till MOnday. She did not reply printed Voucher is acceptable or not, She just mention the newspaper. So this is the Update.
