Meaning
A round golden-brown pastry with a pattern pressed into its top, sometimes cut open to show the filling and a salted egg yolk. It is the moon cake eaten for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
People send it during the festival season, when gift boxes go to family, clients and friends: “Mum sent a box of 🥮 again, lotus seed this year”. It pairs with 🌕, 🏮 and 🍵 for the full festival mood, and everyone has an opinion on the best filling.
