Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- a pastry made from the same ingredients as the outer skin of a traditional mooncake, or effectively a mooncake without any fillings. It traditionally comes in interesting shapes such as a pig/piglet, generic fish, koi, crab, the zodiac animal of the year, etc., but can feasibly be made in any shape. It is a popular snack that can be found at most local bakeries, especially during the Mooncake Festival season.
