    Funny that "broken them down into three types" and the ice-skin mooncake is shown, but doesn't end up as one of the three types! Good vid, always love your showcase of local businesses!

      i think that can be classified as one of the varieties of the cantonese style

    There are also 'colored' moon cakes. The green one has a matcha flavour, the pink one has lychee/peach flavour and the yellowish green one has durian flavor! The fillings are filled with their respective jammed puree. Those look adorable. The Chinese people are very innovative with their food stuff. 👍🤠

    Gotta call out that awesome linglong porcelain bowl you got there Clarissa. The Goldthread video on linglong porcelain was the reason why I subscribed. I'm watching this while eating from my linglong bowl. (Had these since I was a kid and never knew the story!)
    I gotta get some moon cakes from that shop if I'm in HK in the autumn. She seems like a cool proprietor!
    Happy mooncake month everybody!

    You know whats funny? I am learning about this this year in America, where for some reason nobody really knows about mooncakes and foreign tradition, but at my old school in Canada we celebrated it every year, and ate mooncakes every year. I feel like Canada is more diverse than America.

    • @shuxqer

      I live in Canada and have never been to America before but we have bilingual schools like the one I went to where they teach both English and Mandarin (English is mandatory). And the teachers teach us every year about the Chinese festivals and celebrate them, including the mid-autumn festival. When I was in Junior high, we all made Cantonese style mooncakes with red bean fillings.

      yes it would be cool, but we still have our connection to our ancestors with these traditions and that in itself is quite amazing. it’s not really like experiencing the past, but it’s more like the past is continuing...which is pretty obvious, but is more evident and real when we perform these old traditions. mere existence doesn’t connect ourselves to our ancestors, but i think keeping these traditions alive helps preserve many peoples different origins and lineages and therefore more connects people to the past

    The 2nd one doesnt come off as a mooncake in Malaysia/singapore. Thats just like pork buns. There is another moon cake which is "yue ping". No baking required and delicous as it is.

      Ohhhhh so that’s what that actually means! In the Philippines, we have a pastry called Hopia which is similar to the Suzhou Mooncake. Hopia has a savory filling as well but this pastry is definitely of Hokkien origin
