Lar piah is 月饼? Don't really like it too much either..................

But I like the story from 倚天屠龙记. :p

张无忌 gathered his sect members in the open area late at night and told them that as part of their revolt against the Mongols, they would be sending secret messages embedded in a kind of biscuit. Since the moon was shining brightly then, he decided to name the biscuits 月饼.

mid autumn festival coming, buying any lar piah or not?

they are easily controllable and confined within minutes, unlike ramshackle makeshift slums and villages that can add fuel to the fire and help it spread quickly like the fire-bombing of tokyo.
