The Mid-Autumn Festival ushers in one of our favourite seasons for sweet treats and festivities. Falling this year on 25 September, this Chinese festival — also known as the Mooncake Festival — is a time for families to gather and enjoy the full moon with lanterns and good food. At the heart of the festivities are mooncakes, from traditional baked favourites filled with lotus paste to contemporary snowskin creations.
