CULTURE NOTES
Mid-Autumn Treat
Mooncakes are a Chinese baked delicacy traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节). This festival celebrates the harvest and lands on a day when the moon is full and bright, signifying wholeness and the unity of family and friends. Mooncakes are often round-shaped to mimic the full moon and come in many regional varieties with different fillings and crusts. The most commonly seen variety is the Cantonese mooncake with a sweet lotus paste filling and salted egg yolk at the center. These sweet delicacies are best enjoyed in small slices with tea and good company.
