Moon CAKES

Description

Mooncakes are traditional Chinese pastries, often round and dense, with a rich filling and a thin crust, symbolizing the full moon and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Common fillings include red bean paste, lotus seed paste, mixed nuts, and salted duck egg yolks, though modern variations feature flavors like durian, chocolate, and matcha. Mooncakes are a popular gift and a central part of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a harvest festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese Luna solar calendar.
