However, my mother used to ignore this rule she had 11 brothers and sisters when she was growing up and no mooncake was ever large enough for her family! What are Mooncakes? Hence, that is why the shops typically sell larger-sized mooncakes. Traditionally, a mooncake is cut into the same number of pieces as there are family members. In return, we used to receive a lot of mooncakes too, and I have fond memories of cutting a small piece from each mooncake to sample. Growing up, my mother used to order fresh mooncakes from the local Chinese bakery, and she would gift them to all of our friends, families and neighbours.
In Asian culture, the gifting of mooncakes is similar to sending a Christmas card. The festival is celebrated in different ways – and for different reasons – in different countries, but what is familiar to each festival is the gifting of mooncakes to symbolise family, love and celebration. The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, Mooncake Festival or the Harvest Festival, is celebrated in many countries in south-east Asia.
