October Fifth Mooncakes
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, is a cherished celebration that marks the season of harvest and the fullness of the moon. It’s a time when families and friends come together to share in the joy of reunion and give thanks for the bounties of life. At the heart of this festival are mooncakes, the iconic pastries that symbolize completeness and unity. These delightful treats come with a variety of fillings, from sweet lotus seed paste to savory mixed nuts, each encased in a tender, golden-brown crust. As the moon rises high and bright in the night sky, people exchange these delicious mooncakes as gifts, savoring the flavors and the company of loved ones.
