👍👍👍 💐 Many thanks for another well-researched and informative vlog. And we also thank you for your hard work in recording and helping to keep alive our Chinese tradition and culture; and reminding all to support our local traditional businesses. Blessings 🕊🕊🕊
Nice video. You always post a video I wonder just in time! I actually was gifted a mooncake and Chinese tea from my Malaysian friend last week. I never tried mooncake I only saw it was using as a tool of bribe in gangster movie😅😂 I got one mooncake and shared with my friend and searched about mooncake and jongtiu(?). I was fascinated by so much culture and interesting story and ingredient in it. And the taste was so good it makes me wanna try more. It was sweet and savory but not too much stimulative. That's why all my family liked it. And wow I didn't know it also has varieties based on region. Cantonese mooncake is the most general one. Others look really distinct. This is really good info now I can flex my knowledge lmao
Hahaha I don’t publish a video often cos I have my 9-6 job to take care of too 😉 yes there’s much more mooncakes but I can’t share it all here, you can read about the northern Chinese mooncakes, the eastern also produce different varieties. What I’m sharing here is more about southern Chinese mooncakes because there’s where our ancestors came from 😊
I remember hearing something about 孫文 and 月餅. When he was exiled and staying in Yokohama, I think it was one of the sweets that he enjoyed. He apparently had a daughter in Japan too.
YEEVEN, thank you for introduce lots of types of mooncake in Malaysia. I really enjoyed watching this episode. This year, I asked sending mooncakes (Cantonese style) from KL to Japan. They were so tasty. 🥰😋 I could compared with Japanese sweets for mid autumn fes and Vietnamese mooncakes.
Moon cakes are not like what they were in the 60s & 70s. I know lard was used then & this gives the unique flavor to them. Honestly today moon cakes kind of sticky when eaten. And my favorite has been black bean paste (Tau Sah) with melon seeds & for quick snacks remember the little piggy cakes? Not sure if you know those. And as for the salted egg yoke is kind of hard & dry. But you did a tremendous job explaining the various cakes, its true, not many sifus out there nowadays. Thanks again!
We are the last one 5family of belitung hakka moon cake maker "cu chong kao". It makes from glutinous flour. Glutinous is cook by sand roasting teknic before grind the flour.
Happy Mooncake festival Yee Ven . Another excellent and informative video from you , made me drooling want to have all kind of the mooncakes 😋 and thank you for putting effort to sustain this culture and and tradition by making the video to let more people aware of it ☺️
Thanks for this awesome video. The Hockchew mooncake in your video is like a lard cookie. It is delicious and only available in places such as Sibu (and I'm guessing Sitiawan as well). I hope you get a chance to try it one day. Thanks again for the videol!
Happy Moon Cake Festival, Yeeven! This evening the Moon is showing itself and shining in the full, up and again covered by clouds. Thank you for the good information.
Actually pork lard in Teochew is pronounced as "la" not "lao." It's funny that Mr. Melvin called the mooncakes you talked about in Indonesia as "modern." Actually those fillings are Peranakan modifications and have been around since even my grandparents' time, so quite traditional.
I missed the Tecchew mooncake. Before I used to buy them from the former Crown Prince hotel in Simgapore. I can't get them now that I am in Melbourne. Always enjoy your video.
I used to see a lot of the traditional mooncakes when I was a child. My grandma relatives sometimes do bake other traditional mooncakes as well. And I believe it's still maintained in some parts in Perak, Bentong, Melaka and other areas too. But it's rare. You have to search in kampungs to find it.
Thanks YeeVen for this informative video. I watched all your videos so far and learned so much from.you. Also shared your videos with my Museum Volunteer and Heritage Group friends. Do let me.know if you are interested in heritage tours and i will be most happy to share Malaysian history with you
Foochow moon cake can find in Miri, but is halal one, there is a bakery in marudi town near Miri still using lard. Nowadays are hard to find, maybe can get Foochow moon cake in sibu
I am a Foochow/ Fuzhou (Hockchew), born in Sibu, but now living in NZ. So very grateful that your channel highlight our heritage from time to time. Thank you Yeeven. By the way, for those don't already know, Hockchia/Fuqing is also part of the Foochow people - I have no difficulties understanding them except that their speech sounds more like Gutian (Kutien) variety of Foochow.
@@FearlessPassport I guess Sitiawan Perak, Yong Peng Johor, and of course the very Foochow town of Sibu, Sarawak and its satellite towns of Bintangor and Sarikei. I am sure you know Fuqing (Hockchia) is a subset of the umbrella term Foochow. I have seen Fuqing (Hockchia) language lessons on RUclips - I understood their speech and I don't consider them to be different from the dialectical speech varieties of the other counties of Fuzhou (Foochow). The infamous Chin Peng of the Malayan Communist Party was a Hockchia so making him a Foochow too.
It looks like you're fluent in others dialect, is that Cantonese ? It's true Indonesia only have Hokkien variant mooncake, all those fancy mooncake available here was imported from Malaysia.
Great video, seeing Teochew mooncakes brings back my childhood memories. I missed that. Thank you Yeeven, you are awesome!
👍👍👍 💐

Yeah cos he is Cantonese ;) so he didn’t know about the mooncakes 🥮
hokian flat mooncake is very common here in jakarta, and lately the cantonese one is also.

Happy mid-autmn festival 🥮
Selamat Kue Bulan Ratna 🌕🥮✨
Wish to try them all!
Yes it's delicious!
excellent video. Thanks.
What the bakery owner, Melvin says is so true, "This mooncake practice is to retain our culture...."
Thank you :) remember to pay a visit to Fung Wong bakery, they serve great pastry there 🥮
Yum 😋 yum 😋
I missed the Tecchew mooncake. Before I used to buy them from the former Crown Prince hotel in Simgapore. I can't get them now that I am in Melbourne. Always enjoy your video.
Thanks Hung Chan :) have you tried Chinatown in Australia? Usually Teochew mooncake is also quite common. Hope you get one to savour next year!

Yeah nowadays musang king mooncake is the trend 😂

Thanks Liling :) I’m looking to make some about Punjabi and Peranakan related videos. Could you help? Thanks! 😊
@@FearlessPassport Yes i can..i sent you a PM on Facebook
Are there other varieties from the north of China? Or is this more of a southern thing?
This is more of a southern thing. The northern and eastern Chinese got more varieties of mooncakes 🥮
@@FearlessPassport maybe another video for them next year :)
isso é bolacha?
No, this is drink
Foochow moon cake can find in Miri, but is halal one, there is a bakery in marudi town near Miri still using lard. Nowadays are hard to find, maybe can get Foochow moon cake in sibu
Good info, most Foochow food is still very original in Sarawak, you must be proud!
中秋愉快

Selamat hari festival pertengahan musim gugur semuanya, kue bulan enak :)
Terima kasihhhh sama kepada anda 😉
Lard is healthier than Vege oil
This is good topic, I m already 40still can’t differential the type of mooncake 😂😂
Now it’s never too late to know 😂

Not true. It depends which part of Indonesia. Such a big country, not easy to generalise. But I guess you are in Jakarta.
Yes that’s Cantonese 😊
