moon cakes
Mid-Autumn Festival treats
Moon cakes are dense Chinese pastries traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
They have ornate designs pressed into their tops and typically contain sweet fillings like lotus seed paste or red bean, often with a salted egg yolk in the center representing the full moon.
Exchanging moon cakes is customary during the harvest celebration: We brought moon cakes to share with the neighbors.
