So the first thing that immediately comes to my mind would be the mooncake.

So mooncake is a kind of cake that has the soft crust outside and also the savory or sweet filling. For sweets, there would be the mung beans, lotus, and some green beans or black beans. While the savory filling contains a lot of meat, ham, and maybe some sausages.
