Moon Cake
Moon Cake is a traditional Chinese pastry typically enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. These round cakes symbolize reunion and harmony, and they are often filled with sweet or savory ingredients, such as red bean paste, lotus seed paste, or salted egg yolks. The outer crust is usually made from flour, sugar, and oil, giving it a soft and chewy texture.
Moon cakes are often beautifully decorated with intricate designs, sometimes featuring characters or symbols that represent good fortune. Families and friends exchange these cakes as gifts, and they are commonly enjoyed with tea during festive gatherings, making them an essential part of the celebration.
