What do mooncakes, outdoor barbeques, and pomelos have to do with each other? They are all part of the integral mid-autumn festival celebrated here in Taiwan (and across Asia, though I think only Taiwan barbeques...)
Our restaurant decided to have a giant barbeque in the backyard of the restaurant last night after work. Lemme tell ya... barbeque-ing with a bunch of really talented restaurant chefs, sitting on crates, drinking Taiwan beer, and enjoying the mid-autumn breeze is one great way to spend a night! (and a little secret: drizzling some red wine on meat along w/ the regular marinade makes the meat super super delicious).
Some pictures...(sorry the quality isn't the greatest)
This is how to do the mid-autumn festival the true Taiwan way. When I was a freshman, I tried hosting a mooncake party in my dorm room...alas...
Happy mooncake day everyone! :)
