So today’s video will be a guide to mooncakes. Mooncake is a type of pastry eaten during Mid-autumn festival.

今天的影片會介紹月餅，月餅是一種在中秋時食用的糕點

And the meaning behind it is 團圓, which means that entire family together and spend time together like a harmonial circle.

這個習俗背後的意義是團圓，意思是全家人和諧的聚在一起

Mooncakes are usually round or square and have imprints on them like special words or symbols or something that represents the brand name or type of filling that is in it.

月餅大多是圓形或方形的，時常有字、符號，或是一些可以代表月餅品牌的圖案

Different regions have different types of mooncakes. Most of the mooncakes we are familiar with is the Western Cantonese style - 廣式月餅.

不同的區域產出不同的月餅。大多數我們比較熟悉的是廣式月餅

It has the glossy, thin, reddish-brown tree crust, and the filling in the mooncakes varies. It can be filled with Lotus Seed Paste, very sweet and also my favorite mooncake filling.

有光澤的紅棕色內餡包在酥脆焦黃的月餅中，蓮蓉非常的甜也是我的最愛有時也被當成廣式月餅的餡料

Due to its high price, lotus seed paste is considered luxurious filling. Red Bean Paste fillings are very common Asian dessert filling.

有鑑於它的價格，蓮蓉是被視為比較昂貴的餡。紅豆餡則是在亞洲相當受到歡迎的甜點餡料選擇

Jujube Pastes are paste made with dried jujube fruits. It is dark red with smoky, fruity and sometimes sour flavor.

棗泥是由乾棗所做成的餡，這是深紅有煙燻、水果及酸味

Five Kernel. A fillings that contain a blend of five types of nut or seeds that has been coarsely chopped and held together by maltose syrup.

五仁是一種餡料包含了被切碎的五種不一樣的堅果及種子與麥芽糖混合在一起

The most common types of nuts and seeds used are walnut, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, peanuts, sesame seed and almond.

最普遍被使用的堅果及種子分別為胡桃、南瓜子、西瓜子、花生、芝麻及杏仁

The fillings that I have just mentioned can be used for other types of mooncakes too.

我剛剛提到的幾個餡料，也可以用在其他類型的月餅

It is very common for Cantonese mooncake to have salted egg yolk inside.The egg yolks represent the moon.

鹹蛋黃普遍的被使用在廣式月餅中，蛋黃代表著月亮

The egg yolk is my absolute favorite.I always try to get the piece with most egg yolk in it.

蛋黃是我最喜歡的部分，我總是選擇有最多蛋黃的那塊

Beijing style mooncake. There are few different types of Beijing mooncakes. There is the Zi Lai Bai mooncake. That's a white pastry and Zi Lai Hong that’s a darker pastry with a red circle on it.

京式月餅，京式月餅分為自來白月餅有著白色的餅皮及自來紅月餅有著深色的餅皮及紅圈在上頭

Both of these mooncakes are under dry and flaky side and used essentially the same types of fillings like rock sugar, peach seed, melon seed, with stereo blossom and mountain horf on.

這兩種月餅都屬於乾與鬆性的，也都使用相同一樣的餡料像是冰糖、桃子、西瓜子

From afar, Zi Lai Bai and Zi Lai Hong look a little bit like buns.

從原處觀看，自來白及自來紅月餅看起來有點像包子

The other type of Beijing style mooncake is Ti Jiang mooncake.

另外一種京式月餅是提漿月餅

This kind has a light, foamy, dough kind of crust… kind of like a light shortbread pastry. Unlike Cantonese style mooncake, this one is thicker and harder on the outside and it also has less fillings than the Cantonese style.

這種京式月餅有輕、鬆軟及像麵粉般的外皮...有點像是酥餅的外皮。有別於港式月餅，提漿月餅的外皮式更厚實的，而且餡料也比較少

Ti Jiang mooncake is very aromatic because it uses sesame oil as one of its ingredients.

也因為使用了芝麻油做原料，提漿非常的香

Fan Mao mooncake is also another type of Beijing mooncake. This one has many many layers of super flaky crust.

翻毛月餅也是另外一種京式月餅，這種有非常多層超級酥的外皮

Suzhou Mooncake is known for its layers upon layers of flaky pastry. They come in both sweet and salted varieties.

蘇式月餅以它多層的鬆軟外皮著稱，它有多種甜與鹹不同的口味

The savoury ones are usually made with pork mince and served hot. Pepper salt flavour is a popular flavour of Suzhou Mooncake.

鹹的通常使用豬肉餡然後趁熱著吃，椒鹽口味的蘇式月餅也是很受歡迎的口味

Teochew Style Mooncake, this is another type of flaky mooncake that emphasizes on the roll of lard the roasting.

潮式月餅，是另外一種得片狀月餅強調於它的烤成方式

Yunnan Style mooncake is popular in Yunnan, Guizhou and surrounding area.It’s well known for using ham, honey, sugar as fillings. The flower crust pastry is roasted golden and it’s crispy, but not crumbly.

雲南式月餅是在雲南、貴州及鄰近一帶受歡迎的月餅。它們以使用火腿、蜂蜜及糖做餡料聞名，麵粉做成的粗硬外皮烤成金色的嘗起來酥脆但不碎

Taiwan style mooncake. There are two types of Taiwanese mooncakes. One has crust similar to the famous Taiwanese pineapple cake. The other is the flaky pastry crust. Popular fillings including, red beans, mung beans and taro paste.

台式月餅。台式月餅大致分兩種，一種跟台式鳳梨酥有些許像，另一種則是有薄餅皮。較受歡迎的餡料包括紅豆、綠豆及芋頭酥。

Traditional mooncakes are very oily and each one of those is 1,000 calories. Well, you are meant to share with your family and not eat the entire thing yourself. Sharing is caring.

傳統的月餅通常非常油，一個相當於1000大卡。但你應該與家人共同享用一個月餅而不是一個人吃。分享就是關心。

However, health-conscious people have invented lower-calorie mooncakes. People offer a lot of fillings, like pineapple, durian, taro, chocolate, coffee and even ice cream.

然而，注重健康的人發明了低卡的月餅，他們提供不同的餡料包含鳳梨、榴槤、芋頭、巧克力及咖啡甚至是冰淇淋口味

In Hong Kong, they invented this snow skin mooncake which is not baked, but instead has the glutinous rice crust and that needs to be frozen.

在香港，人們發明了冰皮月餅，它並非用烤的，而是使用黏米所做成的，且需要冷凍

The crust itself can be infused with flavours, like chocolate and fruit. The filling is more like a dessert and it’s comparable to mochi ice cream.

餅皮部分可以與巧克力及水果等等的口味混合，餡料比較像是甜點，而且可以跟麻糬冰淇淋做比較

And there’s even jelly moon cake, the crust is made out of algr gelatin with a variety of fruit flavoring. Okay, enough talk about mooncakes. What is your favorite mooncake?

現在甚至是有燕菜月餅，由洋菜及不同水果的口味所組成的。說了這麼多，你最喜歡哪一種月餅了?

Mine is the Cantonese mooncake with lotus seed paste and with as many egg yolks as possible.

我最喜歡的是廣式月餅，有越多的餡料其蛋黃越好

It’s snow skin moon cake. I have tried it once and I don’t remember what flavour it was. But I just remember it was delicious and it blew my mind. I am going to try and find myself a snow skin mooncake this Mid-Autumn festival.

這是雪白餅皮的月餅，我曾嘗過但也忘了它的口味，可是我記得我完全就被它的美味給感動了。今年中秋，我也會去找個冰皮月餅犒賞自己
