Cantaloupe stuffed mooncake

Overview

The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again. This custom of eating moon cakes, drinking wine and admiring the moon has a long history. It is a common festival for Chinese people all over the country and even the world. People pay as much attention to it as the Spring Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival has a full moon and family gatherings. Moon cakes are of course indispensable. Although people nowadays pay attention to health and rarely eat desserts, in such a major festival, to take advantage of the occasion and seek good luck, you should eat some even if you eat less. Today, I am happy to use ready-made cantaloupe fillings, which saves effort and time. Although it is not as delicious as the fillings made by myself, it is still delicious compared with the bought ones.
