關於 mooncakes lunar new year ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

We used to go to different places to get lanterns, Mooncakes and fruits the weekend before the Mid-Autumn festival but for this year…. It is full of people every where 🙃🙃🙃 so I decided to stay at home… The number of people you see is beyond your imagination 🤓

Every year we go to Yuen Long for Mooncakes. There are a few traditional bakeries there - Hang Heung 恆香，Wing Wah 榮華. These two are our favourite.

Another one is Tai Tung Bakery 大同老餅家, a 70-year-old bakery.

In the 60s, bakeries built large signboards outside the shop to welcome Mid-Autumn festival. As time passes, Tai Tung Bakery becomes the only bakery that still decorates its store with handpaint signboard.

Mooncakes in Tai Tung are relatively more expensive than the other two big bakeries in Yuen Long.

Tai Tung bakery is one the very few restaurants that still offer Mooncake loyalty programme 供月餅會. Mid Autumn Festival is a very important festival for Hong Kong people in the past. People in the past can hardly afford to buy so many boxes of mooncakes for family and friends. So, they saved money one YEAR in advance! Cake shops introduced 月餅會 Mooncake loyalty programme that people paid the cake shop every month and their loyalty booklet will be stamped. To encourage you to join the loyalty programme, the cake shop will give you boxes of tea or dried sausages during lunar New Year.

Address: 57 Fau Tsoi Street, Yuen Long 元朗阜財街57號

Who is ready for Mid-Autumn Festival （中秋節) ? Come and get the lantern with me in Sai Ying Pun!

New Mid-Autumn Festival Shopping Vlog is ready! Watch till the end to see which lantern we bought at last: https://youtu.be/gV0pRlIv2Qs

There is a number a paper offering stores near Queen's Road West, Sai Ying Pun 西營盤皇后大道西. Every year before the Mid-Autumn festival, the street becomes a Lantern Street! One thing we found disappointing is that the quality of the handmade lantern dropped. Swipe to see the last 2 photos, those are the rabbit and goldfish lanterns we found 4 years ago.

Don’t forget to check out 卓越食品餅店, which is right opposite to these Lantern shop for the Piggy biscuit #豬籠餅 #豬仔餅, which was once a very popular Mid-autumn festival snack!

Bakers used to bake a small portion of mooncake dough to test the temperature of the oven. To sell off leftover mooncake dough, bakers make it into the shape of piggy, goldfish, and sold them in tiny colourful pig cages.

Mid Autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month (falls on 21st September, 2021 in western calendar). On this full moon (which symbolizes family reunion) night, family members gather to eat mooncakes, play lanterns and enjoy the moon.

How to go: Take MTR to Sai Ying Pun station, Exit A1 西營盤皇后大道西

Happy Mooncake Festival. It is actually the second most important Chinese festival after Chinese New year

You'll find brands that you know well selling some pretty strange things here in China, but Starbucks has grabbed on with both hands and dived into the Chinese market offering some rather bizarre and innovative specialties! Come find out what these strange battery operated cakes are all about!

A mooncake (simplified Chinese: 月饼; traditional Chinese: 月餅; pinyin: yuè bĭng; Jyutping: jyut6 beng2; Yale: yuht béng) is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節). The festival is for lunar appreciation and moon watching, when 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 one of the four most important Chinese festivals.

Typical mooncakes are round pastries, measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 3–4 cm thick. This is the Cantonese mooncake, eaten in Southern China in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. A rich thick filling usually made from red bean or lotus seed paste is surrounded by a thin (2–3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by tea. Today, it is customary for businessmen and families to present them to their clients or relatives as presents, helping to fuel a demand for high-end mooncakes. A considerable amount of waste is also produced. According to the Wall Street Journal's China edition, as many as two million mooncakes are thrown away each year in Hong Kong alone, not to mention the often voluminous packaging.

Due to China's influence, mooncakes and Mid-Autumn Festival are also enjoyed and celebrated in other parts of Asia. Mooncakes have also appeared in western countries as a form of delicacy
