Mid-Autumn Festival is around the corner (Oct 6!), and mooncake season is in full swing. But have you ever heard of Tang Ganlu hollow mooncakes? These crispy treats from Huairen City, Shanxi Province, date back 1,000 years and are stealing the spotlight this year. 🌕
What makes them special?
- Crispy golden shell: baked till it’s perfectly crunchy. 🔆
- Sweet brown sugar filling: think warm, caramel-like goodness. 🍯
- Naturally hollow core: here’s the magic—no tricks, no extra steps. The center puffs up naturally during baking, leaving a hollow space! ✨
Why it matters
In a world of flashy food trends, Tang Ganlu mooncakes remind us that simple, authentic flavours can stand the test of time. This 1,000-year tradition connects us to our ancestors and brings communities together—kind of like how we share stories on group chats today. 💬
How to enjoy
Grab your mooncake with a cup of jasmine tea (or bubble tea if you’re feeling extra) and soak in the vibes. Perfect for family hangs or a chill session with friends. Don’t forget to snap that hollow core shot for your feed! 📸
