苏式月饼 is a type of mooncake that originates from Suzhou, a city in Jiangsu Province, China. Known for its flaky, layered crust, it is often filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Common fillings include red bean paste, lotus seed paste, and various nuts, making it a popular choice during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unlike the denser Cantonese mooncakes, 苏式月饼 has a lighter texture and is typically less sweet. The unique preparation method involves folding the dough multiple times to create layers, resulting in a delicate and crispy exterior. This mooncake is cherished for its rich flavors and artistic designs.
