Snow Skin Mooncake

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Snow skin mooncake, also called snowy mooncake, ice skin mooncake or crystal mooncake, is a Chinese confection eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a cold mooncake with a glutinous rice skin that originated in Hong Kong and is also found in Macau, mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Although usually made and sold by bakeries, snow skin mooncakes are not baked in ovens the way traditional mooncakes are, and unlike traditional mooncakes, which are served at room temperature, they are typically eaten cold.
