Cantonese Mooncake

Cantonese mooncakes are traditional pastries enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, primarily eaten in southern China. They are round or square, symbolizing unity and reunion, and typically have a rich, dense crust with various fillings such as lotus seed paste, red bean paste, or salted egg yolks. These treats often feature intricate designs on top, reflecting cultural symbols. Mooncakes are enjoyed with tea and are exchanged as gifts, representing good luck and family unity. Their flavors and styles can vary, but they remain a treasured element of Chinese cultural heritage during the festival.
