      When the ball is made. She didnt mention that is an extruder with internal and external nozzles. Like a straw with a straw inside. The filling is in the inner nozzle and the dough is in the outer nozzle. The dough starts extruding, then the filling squirts, then the dough is pinched behind it, then it starts over.

    In China its very common to make these by hand all the time with our families. I've tried both before and machine made ones will never taste as good as handmade ones. The quality just isnt there
    Of course in western countries it just easier to buy the mass produced ones. Handmade mooncakes are expensive and harder to find.
    But generally, mooncakes aren't exactly super cheap.

      Vida Allen Mooncakes are a delicious treat, but do refrain from eating them too much. They are very, very high in calories and fat because a lot of oil is used to make the filling and to knead the dough. I am from Hong Kong myself, but my family and I only eat around one to two mooncakes during Mid-Autumn festival because it is just way too unhealthy.

      Well you should only eat 1/4 of the moon cake per day cuz if you eat the whole moon cake at once, it can make you REALLY dizzy. I ate a whole moon cake once and I fell asleep pretty soon after. It's caused by one of the ingredients... And I can confirm since I'm half chinese, half filipino... LOL😂

There is different types of moon cakes, and if you don't think their flavor suit you, just say it wasn't your type of food you'd eat. No need to be salty and dissing the traditional cake in the comments, and there is no need to say it's horrible either. It could be just you. Others who never tried moon cakes wouldn't know how it tasted, and you're making it seem like it's not tasty at all. You may not like it, and i respect your personal taste, but I don't see a point to tell other people it's horrible.

    I prefer other Asian desserts like mochi, mango pudding with evaporated milk, Thai sweet sticky rice with mango, Vietnamese rice cakes (bánh bò), silky tofu pudding with ginger syrup, sago and taro coconut sweet soup, bubble milk (boba) tea, che thai drink, and green tea ice cream!

    "They're a traditional Asian dessert" Why not just say Chinese? Pretty sure Mooncakes and Mid Autumn festival aren't celebrated in the likes of Pakistan, India, Tajikstan etc. I really hate it when people proactively try to be politically correct so as not to offend. Sure, Malaysia and a couple of other places in South East Asia celebrate Mid Autumn festival, but the festival and it's roots are ultimately Chinese in origin and couldn't be more symbolic to China. Give China the respect or recognising that it's their holiday.
