Green bean mooncake, eternally Taiwanese
The green bean moon cake is an essential Taiwanese mooncake for the Mid-Autumn Festival. For Taiwanese people, the little white mooncakes are representative of the Mid-Autumn moon. If there are no green bean mooncakes, then there is no festival.
The fragrant green bean package that makes up the green bean mooncake, is known as the Taiwanese mooncake. The Taiwanese mooncake, has a soft crust as it alternates layers of oily dough with layers of oil-fried flour (like a puff pastry), causing the shell to expand when it’s exposed to heat. The shell will be tender and flaky after it’s done baking. The pastry was called "翻毛", which means it is like a feather whipped by the winds. This special name is used to describe the multi-level crust’s elegant look and complex taste. The Taiwanese mooncake is much different from the Cantonese-style mooncake because of the taste and the soft crust.
Green bean mooncake and pineapple cakes are widely sold in almost every cake store in Taiwan. But if we want to explore the mystery of the green bean mooncake, then its birthplace, Fengyuan, Taichung, must be visited.

Snow white cake with multiple layers and one-sided frying
The green bean mooncake is famous for its shape, which is like a Ping-Pong ball; "pong", pronounced in Taiwanese, refers to the pastry being baked on one side and having a central bulge. This is the origin of green bean mooncake. Because of its outer flaky layers, it is also called, “Snow Mooncake." Snow Mooncake, as the name suggests, is not only snow white and round; it also has “snow” layers of crust. This characteristic made a Qingdynasty scholar write a poem for it.
