Traditionally these treats were sold along with the moon cake festival

Moon cake skin biscuit resembling an entire pig profile.. placed in a distinctive “pig basket”.

These colourful baskets resemble exactly the rattan baskets: The Farmers used to cage their pigs during transportation of each of them.

During the Mooncake Festival, thus these colourful baskets contain a mooncake skin pig mould biscuit. The biscuit has the same taste as the skin of each baked moon cake.

Often parents or grandparents bought these child friendly bite sized “pig mould shaped biscuits” for their children or grand children.

The only difference from The actual mooncakes is that there are no red bean paste in them.. just pure mooncake skin material... certainly a treat many children eagerly waited in Ernest each year for this..

Circled in red: yellow, purple, pink and red baskets...
