MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL AND MOONCAKE GUIDE


Snow skin mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival
Curious about all the intricately decorated desserts that have cropped up over the last few weeks?  It’s all part of the Mid-Autumn Festival this weekend on September 30. This festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival or the Moon Festival, is celebrated by the Chinese and Vietnamese. On this day, families and friends gather together to carry around beautiful paper lanterns underneath the moonlight and enjoy different types of mooncakes.
Traditional mooncakes
Mooncakes are a delicious Asian dessert for anyone with a sweet tooth, but watch out because most traditional mooncakes are made with peanut oil nowadays. However, those with peanut allergies can still enjoy the snow skin (or ice skin) and Teochew mooncakes.
