猪笼饼 Little Pig Mooncake

猪笼饼最特别之处，是它并非用盒子盛载，

而是用小竹笼或一个塑料的笼子装着。

每个笼子的颜色都五颜六色的，

有些猪笼饼也绑上彩带用胶花进行点缀。这点非常吸引小朋友，能吃又能玩。

现在，猪笼饼是人们在中秋节时

送给长者或小朋友的传统食品之一。

有很多关于猪笼饼的来源说法，

有说是旧时代的时候，

人们用制月饼的边角剩料，

做成的没有馅料的月饼，

然后将它们卖给一些买不起月饼的穷人，送给小孩儿当零嘴。

也有的说以前有个制饼的师傅，

为了测试好烤炉的温度，

便将一批没有内陷儿的月饼皮面团制成猪外形，放入炉做测试，

猪笼饼因此衍生下来。

现在的许多90后，00后等几乎都不知道什么是猪笼饼了，

但对阿莫而言，猪笼饼可谓是儿时的回忆啊。

在当时的社会中，许多人那时候还过着环境欠佳的生活，

每逢佳节都不舍得花钱买昂贵的月饼，

便买几份便宜的猪笼饼来庆祝。

对于老一辈人而言当时吃的是一份无奈的快乐，

而如今再遇见它，多的一份对过去纯真岁月的回忆与怀念。

所以才会特别怀念那个猪仔造型的猪笼饼。

猪笼饼的口感其实并不怎么样，

因为猪笼饼是没有馅料的月饼。

猪笼饼是用一团面粉，

混了些砂糖作调味，最后烤制而成的。

它的口感虽不及一般的月饼

却有着一股月饼之香，甜又好吃。

如今大马市场又掀起了对猪笼饼的热潮，

深受广大人民的追捧及喜爱。

口感不怎么样的猪笼饼又红起来的原因多是因为人们将制作过程繁杂，

又以便宜价格出售，

再加上也有许多人将猪笼饼进行改良，如小猪月饼。

猪笼饼又重新出现在大家的视野当中，

不仅让长辈可再吃到记忆中念念不忘的猪笼饼，

也让更多年轻人及孩子认识到猪笼饼。

总而言之，猪笼饼虽然不及一般的月饼，

但却承载着许多你我他的回忆啊！

你吃过猪笼饼吗？

若还没吃过

来阿莫杂货铺买只回去试试呗
