From Wikipedia:
A mooncake (simplified Chinese: 月饼; traditional Chinese: 月餅) is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節). The festival is about lunar appreciation and Moon watching, and mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes are offered between friends or on family gatherings while celebrating the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is widely regarded as one of the four most important Chinese festivals.
Typical mooncakes are round pastries, measuring about 10 cm (4 in) in diameter and 3–4 cm (
1+1⁄4–
1+1⁄2 in) thick, and are commonly eaten in the Southern and Northern Chinese regions. A rich thick filling usually made from
red bean paste or
lotus seed paste is surrounded by a thin, 2–3 mm (approximately 1/8th of an inch) crust and may contain
yolks from
salted duck eggs. The eggs represent the full moon.
