Mooncakes
Mooncakes are traditional Chinese pastries typically enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are round or square in shape and have a thick filling, often made from ingredients like red bean paste, lotus seed paste, or mixed nuts. The outer crust is usually made from flour, sugar, and oil, giving it a soft texture.
These cakes are often decorated with intricate designs and may contain salted egg yolks, symbolizing the full moon. Families and friends share Mooncakes as a way to celebrate unity and express good wishes. They are often accompanied by tea for a complete festive experience.
