I'd like to try this one, but have some questions... like - what is a tea biscuit? I'd never seen a filling with the bean paste and apple/pear walnut. But it looks like one that might be fun to try! - 8/12/11

Haha, the traditional Chinese Mooncakes do not have any trace of fruits in the filling, but this is my adapted version. :) As for "5 Rich Tea biscuits", you can use your favourite sweet biscuits (e.g. shortbread, Bourbon, chocolate-chip cookies).
