What is a Mooncake?

Mooncake is a Chinese pastry made and consumed during mid autumn festival or 中秋节, which falls on August 15th on lunar calendar.

A mooncake usually has a pastry-like crust and the inside of mooncake is filled with fillings such as red bean paste, lotus seed paste and even durian.

  4. Is it possible for you to post recipes in cups, tbsp., tsp, etc, as well as grams? I’ve tried doing conversions on the internet and seems no 2 websites give the same amounts so I’m at a loss how many cups etc to use.
