Program Description

Description

Celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival with an immersive and delicious cultural experience! Join pastry artist Lulu Tsao for a hands-on workshop where participants will learn to make pineapple mooncakes—a unique twist on the traditional treat. In the Chinese Hokkien dialect, pineapple is called “ong lai”, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. Sharing pineapple mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a meaningful way to express blessings to loved ones and celebrate family unity.

Participants will:

  • Learn to prepare pineapple filling using natural ingredients

  • Practice dough handling with attention to temperature and humidity

  • Mold and shape mooncakes into festive, symbolic designs

This interactive class invites participants to connect with Chinese cultural traditions through food, storytelling, and community. Everyone will leave with mooncakes to take home and share with their families. All ingredients and supplies will be provided.

$5.00 per person, non-refundable.
