The Mid-Autumn Festival is held in honour of the Moon Goddess which is believed to have been born on this date.Since chinese festivals usually involve special delicacies to be given as offerings, on this occasion, Moon cake is specially made as an offering. This Chinese delicacy is, however, hardly a cake in the western sense of the world. The original Chinese Moon cake included such ingredients as red beans, five types of Chinese nuts and ground lotus seeds and so on. Thailand has its ownvariations of including durian, chestnut, and persimmon. Additional ingredients may include lotus seeds, salted egg yolk and watermelon seeds
