Sept. 10 marks the 'Mid-Autumn Festival, and the obligatory 'mooncakes'.
On the day, families join together and share small round cakes at a time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest.
The cakes can be found at most Asian bakeries and are typically filled with beans or lotus seed paste, although more flavors and shapes are also being used.
The harvest celebration commemorates family unity, and has been practiced for thousands of years.
See below for some bakeries that make or carry mooncakes.
