i thought the moon was made of green cheese

Mooncake. From Starbucks, no less. Starbucks is quite prolific in Bangkok, which surprised me. Chris brought this mooncake home yesterday, and it might meet it's demise later tonight. I've always associated mooncakes with the Chinese culture, so I wasn't really expecting to see them here, but I've read that a large number of Thais are of Chinese ancestry. That might explain the adoption of the tradition.

I never realized that mooncakes sported American corporate logos, though :)

The filling is, appropriately, cappuccino.

Off topic, but I have brownie pan envy. Check out what my sister has!

perhaps excelling chance to place said American corporate logos is part of what brings these mooncakes to Thailand. ;) Have never had a mooncake. Will have to look them up next time I make it to the asian grocery store, which by the looks of it will be sometime in 2011.
