Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival also known as Moon Festival or Mooncake

Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival was traditionally a time to give thanks

to the Chinese deities. It is also a time for reunion for families.

Why do we eat mooncakes?

In Chinese culture, roundness symbolizes completeness and

togetherness. A full moon symbolizes prosperity and reunion for the

whole family. Round mooncakes complement the harvest moon in the

night sky at the Mid-Autumn Festival. At Mid-Autumn Festival people eat

mooncakes together with family, or present mooncakes to relatives or

friends, to express love and best wishes.

How to make snow Skin Mooncake

“Snow Skin” is translated from the Chinese “Bing Pi” (literally meaning

“Ice Skin”). The word snow is used because of the colour and texture of

the mooncake wrapper. Different from the traditional baked sugary

pastry, the snow skin mooncake is made with sticky rice flour dough and

usually served chilled.
