Mooncakes
If you are in Hong Kong during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be impossible not to notice mooncakes. They are believed to have originated from Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) revolutionaries, who are said to have used the pastries to pass secret messages between each other.
Traditionally, mooncakes are infused with embedded egg yolks and lotus seed paste, but this is Hong Kong where nothing is spared a modern makeover. You can find an exciting jumble of creative fillings now to take your taste buds on a dizzying tour!
