Chinanews, September 29. According to a report compiled by Australia.com, with the arrival of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the sales of moon cakes in some Melbourne pastry shops in Australia have experienced "explosive" growth.
Good Food website reported on the 27th that in the past week, Amour pastry shop owner Er Rin Tan (Er Rin Tan) only slept for two hours a night and had no time to rest.
Because of the moon cake season, she has been "overwhelmed" by orders.
Dan Liner said: "Maybe because of the closure order imposed by Melbourne, the sales of mooncakes this year have'exploded'. I can no longer stop making mooncakes and fulfilling orders. Making mooncakes requires a lot of processes."
It is understood that eating moon cakes is a tradition in East Asian culture to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Moon cakes are delicate snacks that are often paired with tea.
In the past 5 years, moon cakes have become more and more popular.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the Mooncake Festival in Australia. It is the 15th day of August in the Chinese lunar calendar.
The Mooncake Festival in 2020 is October 1st of the Gregorian calendar.
Dan Liner said that she would not accept any mooncake orders in the remaining days.
She said: "We are making mooncakes for another two weeks. Now we will not receive new orders until at least October 3."
Anthony Tan, strategy manager of the New Shanghai Hotel in Melbourne's Chadstone area and CBD, said: "In Asia, it has become a trend to transform mooncakes to be more modern and attract young people. This has also affected the Australian market. Lotus seed paste and salted egg yolk are traditional mooncake fillings, but now we have also found a variety of fillings, from truffles, grapefruit to durian. Snowy mooncakes are especially popular, with a soft and chewy texture, a bit like Japanese mochi."( Sun Shishi)
