Store-Bought Mooncakes

These are some of the store-bought mooncakes which I have sampled. I love their boxes very much.




Double Yolk Lotus Paste




Green Tea Snowskin Mooncakes






Champagne Chocolate Truffle with Ganache


I love the shape of this mooncake box which one of my colleagues collected for me. Is just so unique.


These are traditional baked Teochew Lao-Ping. The yam paste is very smooth and not very sweet. ICHIBAN!

Mooncake Piglets and Goldfishes

These are one of my favourite! More pastry skin and very little paste inside..hehe.. made from left over mooncake pastry skin. Managed to yield 3 piglets and 4 goldfishes...



Oh dear, the fishes and piglets have got no eyes, no wonder it looks kind of weird! I simply forgotten about it hahaha...

Final batch of mooncakes for this year...

These are the last batch of moonies that I made for this year...Did a calculation, the ingredients has cost me at least $250! But I am glad. At least I made enough to give away as gifts to my parents, sil and bil families as well as close family friends and colleagues.

I have got so many people to thanks for, without them, I wouldn't be able to have their tested recipes as well as guidance.

Thanks Lucy for the traditional mooncake recipe. I was told that I have to keep at least 4 days for the oil to come out and the pastry will be soft and nice.

Thanks Lee Lee for the walnut mooncake recipe. I made these last year and everyone wanted again this year..yummilicious definitely!

Thanks stan17 for the spiral mooncake recipe, the pastry is very yummy but I didn't do well for the rolling part, really need 'kang-hu'!

Thanks Jo aka Mooncake for the snowskin recipe. Yummy too!

and thanks to my colleagues and friends who has help to collect very nice pretty mooncake boxes for me too!

Baked Flaky Mooncakes

This is another mooncake recipe which I will make yearly to give away as gifts during Mooncake Festival.
Recipe is shared by Lee Lee aka Hugbear. Thanks Lee:)








I gave a box to a friend of mine who left for LA last monday. She is bringing back to share with her room-mates. Just hope that she like it:)

Snowskin Moonies for children..

Aren't they cute?

These were made for my kids, their cousins and friends. So cute!!!!! hehe.. got this idea from a forum pal (m4m) who made her moonies using these little egg moulds. Thanks for sharing the idea.

More snowskin mooncakes to drool on...

This is my third batch of snowskin moonies that I made last Saturday. For this batch of Red Wine Berry moonies, I added some red wine into the skin dough. Wow! The taste was absolutely GREAT! Thanks to my Dad who sponsored me the red wine :) Everyone who tried it gave a Thumbs Up for this! Yeh!








the red wine berry paste goes very well with this red wine snowskin... yummy!

Red Wine Berry and Mango Lotus Snowskin

Using another snowskin recipe by Jo, a pal from a food forum, IK. Thanks Jo! For the earlier batch of snowskin moonies, I used the gao-fen (fried glutinous rice flour) from PH. This round, I used Japan Gao-Fen from Ailin Bakery House as recommended by my sil, which she said is better. Anyway, those who tried, how was the texture yeah??

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.

Hello Kitties!!!

Trying out my newly purchased kitty moulds from Kai-Kai shop at Chinatown-point. Sis-in-law brought me there weeks ago. Since she is a member, I get a 15% off the regular price! Yeh! I was in the shop for 2 hrs, taking my own sweet time to browse thru all the items. How I wish I could have them all! *sigh*...

using kitty egg mould to make into snowskin kitties...
