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. In Thailand, the art of Chinese style cake was brought to the country by Chinese immigrants almost 100 years ago.
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 own variations of including durian, chestnut, and persimmon. Additional ingredients may include lotus seeds, salted egg yolk and watermelon seeds.
The Chinese Moon Festival usually takes place on the 15th day of the eight lunar month (in September or October). The Mid-Autumn Festival is held in honour of the Moon Goddess which is believed to have been born on this date.
