There is more than half a month to Mid-Autumn Festival, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many cities and provinces, including Hanoi, have implemented social distancing, so there are no shops selling traditional mooncakes on the streets.
US Ambassador to Vietnam Daniel Kritenbrink tried to harmonise the flavours of the US with Vietnam’s traditional delicacies to create a special moon cake in tribute to the Southeast Asian country’s Mid Autumn Festival and the 25th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between the two nations.
Mooncakes are among many types of Vietnamese cakes successfully exported to foreign markets. Though volumes remain modest, products with traditional Vietnamese flavours have won over many fastidious customers in Europe, America, Singapore, and elsewhere, proving that prestige and quality increase popularity.
There is only three weeks to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival, a very special time of year in Vietnam, especially for kids. With COVID-19 making its presence felt, local mooncake producers are working hard to guarantee food safety so that customers can still have a festival full of joy.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for mooncake, a baked pastry that symbolises family reunions and which is traditionally consumed as part of the celebrations.
To make a beautiful and tasty mooncake, the most important task is to form the shape of the cake. That is when the mooncake mould becomes handy and indispensible in making a cake.
A conference on sustainable tourism development of the central province of Quang Nam, took place in the locality. The event was themed “Zero plastic waste tourism”.
Mid-autumn festival is only a couple of days away, so people have been flocking to bakeries for yummy mooncakes, a can’t-miss dish during the festival.
Besides traditional mooncakes, many families have made jelly mooncakes for a change. With this fun and innovative makeover, jelly mooncakes have won hearts.
The Hanoi chapter of the Vietnam – Japan Friendship Association held a cultural exchange event in the capital city on September 8 to mark the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam – Japan diplomatic relations (September 21, 1973 – September 21, 2018).
The Full Moon Festival is less than one month away, with moon cakes of all shapes, sizes, prices, and brands readily available. However, sales seem to be much slower this year round.
A large volume of Vietnamese mooncakes will be shipped to foreign markets in the next few weeks as the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival is on the horizon.
