Moon cake

Some say it was Latern festival, some say moon cake festival and other say Mid Autumn Festival.
All I know.....it is time to enjoy some moon cakes! The first moon cake that I had this year was a lotus paste single yolk moon cake. I don't quite like it as it was a bit too sweet for me. Although I already knew that it is high in calories, I still decided to take a look at the label.
 
Serving size: 185g/ moon cake
Calories: 906 kcal
Carbohydrate: 101g
Protein: 12.3g
Fat 43.8g

Walau eh...one mooncake is about 60% of my daily calories requirement!
Or equivalent to 4 Chinese bowls of rice in terms of the calorie value.
Luckily I only took 1/8 mooncake each time ! 
What about the one without egg yolk? It ranges from 700-800kcal each.
