they are traditionally eaten during the mid autumn festival, kind of a chinese thanksgiving. >> when you go to china you do not get this quality of moon cake. we have the lotus shape, and we have a secret recipe. >> the baker has the recipe and when he starts mixing the filling he kicks everyone out and he only has one assistant with him because he does not want anyone to know the process. karina: in the 1960's david work at eastern bakery for the original owner and he remembers lines of workers making moon cakes. >> we had about 30 people around a big table. one part of the production is to make a ball out of the filling. and then the next apartment made the -- next to department made the dough and you put the and then you stuff the whole thing into the mold, bang, bang and
