la5bian2 朥餅

It was Dong1'ciu1 中秋 yesterday - Mid-Autumn Festival - and for us Teochew, we eat la5bian2  朥餅, drink gang1hu1 dê5 工夫茶bai3 ghuêh8nion5 拜月娘 on this festival.

I made a few la5bian2  朥餅 and I thought you might want to see pictures of them.




My Chinese friend, originally from HK, came late for tea and brought a ghuêh8bian2 月餅 and by then people have tasted our Teochew la5bian2  朥餅 by then and these guests all preferred our la'bian.

Apparently, our Teochew la'bian is one of the famous moon cakes in China and others which are famous include those from Guangdong and Suzhou. A Shanghai man told me the Suzhou yuebing looks and tastes very similar to our la'bian.
