For those of you who are new to eastern and oriental foods these delicious treats above are mooncakes. They tend to be eaten during the Mid-Autumn/ Mooncake Festival which takes place this year on September 27th. These cakes are traditional Chinese pastries with a sweet dense filling.
The festival typically involves family getting together, sharing the mooncakes whilst watching/worshipping the moon. Chinese people believe that a full moon represents peace & prosperity.
Nowadays people present mooncakes to relatives to show they wish them a long and happy life.
We sell mooncakes individually at £3.95 or £13.95 for 4 in a tin.
Flavours includes, Red Bean Paste, White Lotus Seed Paste, Durian Paste and new this year Five Nuts Paste. These lovely pastries fly out so dont hang about! Enjoy :)
