If Tet Nguyen Dan is an occasion for family reunion, Tet Doan Ngo is a day to celebrate a new season of clarity and light, then the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion and joy under the full moon. Even when the country is still going through difficulties, the Mid-Autumn Festival is still a time when the whole village eagerly gathers, children and adults are excited in the bustling holiday atmosphere. Along with the poodle dog skillfully made from grapefruit, a few ripe jackfruits, no Mid-Autumn Festival tray is complete without a moon cake. When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, along with the sound of drums, the jubilant singing and the light of lanterns, moon cakes are always an indispensable ingredient, completing the Mid-Autumn Festival tray. Just like that, the golden, shiny, smooth moon cake with a full, round salted egg yolk filling like the full moon of August has always accompanied the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival tray for many years.
Perhaps, no holiday is influenced by the times as much as the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although the Mid-Autumn Festival now no longer has children lighting pomelo-seed firecrackers and carrying lanterns, somewhere in the chilly autumn air of Hanoi, people still remember the warm atmosphere of reunions of years past. Now, people have more choices than the sweet and fatty mixed moon cakes of years past. Today's moon cakes are not only a gift for reunion but also a gift to enjoy with a cup of fragrant tea. Among the myriad of choices, gourmets not only want to eat delicious food but also expect sophistication and nostalgia in the holiday dishes. Contained in the moon cake, people expect to feel the skill and dedication of the baker, along with the cooking process that preserves the nation's artisan traditions.
Understanding the sophistication of Hanoi cuisine, the bakers at Fortuna have created moon cakes that are innovative but still imbued with traditional features. The cakes made at Fortuna all carry the rustic flavors of Vietnam, from the fragrant scent of pandan leaves in summer, the sweet and fragrant lotus seeds of early autumn, the green astringency of green tea to taro, chewy mung beans and red beans, all exuding the subtlety of Hanoi autumn. Made from premium ingredients, through the hands of Fortuna artisans, the moon cakes here impress with their full, gentle and fragrant flavors. Along with the elegant box design with 2 main colors of red and yellow, Fortuna moon cakes will be a meaningful gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
