    IT IS ONE of Hong Kong's most treasured food traditions: the buying, giving and eating of mooncakes to mark mid-autumn festival, celebrated in Chinese communities around the world next month.

    Bakeries and supermarkets are already packed with boxes of the dense pastries, traditionally filled with a heavy sweet concoction of lotus seed and egg yolks.
