oh btw, went KCT last Saturday to get some mooncake pastes for my moonies. Got myself a pkt each of Red Wine Berry Paste, Mango Lotus Paste and Pure White Lotus Paste (Less Sweet). I quite like the red wine berry paste thou.. sweet soury kind of taste and chewy cranberry fruits blend it quite well...thou some said is sweet but for me is still acceptable... and the aroma of the red wine not that strong, quite light actually.

Hi Jestina
So what's the verdict of the kao fen from Ailin? Is it really better than PH? I also saw KCT selling the kao fen. So many ...how to compare ah? LOL
My friend said that those selling the snowskin from the cakeshops are more chewy than the ones I make at home.I use kao fen from PH. Should snowskin be chewy or should they be soft?
TIA
Hi Cecily,
i also very 'luan'..PH has their own gao fen, Ailin ve the HK gao fen and Japan gao fen, KCT also ve their own kao fen (fr HK I think).. so many..i also don't know how to compare..LOL
ya indeed, outside selling ones are more chewy...I don't know what they put 'extra', beside the basic ingred..gao fen, icing sugar, water, flavoring...
My first batch I used PH gao fen and second batch used Ailin. The second batch is softer..It depends on individual liking..for me chewy or soft, i also like, as long as is not hard lor...lol
Hi,
Thanks for the link to the mango dessert. I will try PH for the mould although I don't make mooncakes. I see you're very into it now. I guess it IS mooncake festival after all. Haha. I'm not really keen on mooncakes, maybe next year will try.
Hi Jestina,
the sight of your lovely snowskin mooncakes is making me drool so early in the morning. love the moulds for your mooncakes & the texture looks great.
alas, i have tried to make the snowskin for the last 3 rounds & still cant get the soft texture. wonder what could be amiss ?
cheers,
yan
yan, i guess is the quantity of the liquid that you add and the quality of the flour that you use. I was told that we are not suppose to overknead the skin dough too.
thanks for the advices Jestina...
lemme trial & error within the next few days b4 the actual mooncake festival.
cheers,
yan
