"Zilaihong" is a traditional Beijing-style dim sum. The mooncakes are white before baking, but after being baked, they turn into brownish red magically, and a deep red circle appears on the top of the mooncakes. The origin of the name "Red".
The authentic method of the round red circle on the mooncake is made by boiling one part of water, one part of sugar and half of soda noodles. When this juice is placed on the mooncake blank, the red mark is invisible. Only after the mooncake is cooked, the red circle will appear. This is also the magic of the self-made red mooncake. "
