Me Time!

Wet kitchen is a great idea, only if one is ready to bear the weather, hot or cold, raining, gusty winds, or has the wet kitchen designed in such a configuration that one is protected from these factors.

MIL’s wet kitchen faces the West, no direct noon Sun, has afternoon Sun, has no screen to protect from gusty wind and rain. I had rain splattered on one side while I stood cooking at the stove when the rain came in sideways (due to the wind direction), FIL got s/s plate bended into a half circle to protect the stove fire from the wind.

Btw, also has more “ visitors”.

Another set of issues to face.

At Taka mooncake fair now. Wanted to try pan pacific hotel mooncakes but no booth there. May end up buying peninsula custard mooncake again…

Don’t know why, I seem to have impression that Peony Jade increase prices every year??

I gave up buying moon cakes these days. Went to Taka thot I’ll buy a few boxes but found that all contains food coloring &/or flavouring. Came back decided to do my own snowskin moon cakes. It’s so easy, cost way diff （very cheap evenbif I do lychee moonckes). So far tried the pandan red bean paste ones. Tmr making some to giveaway to in-laws.

if the colouring n flavouring are natural sources, then should be acceptable?


I yet to visit mooncake fest. Waiting for hubby to return from USA, then go with him. In the past few years, he has developed a weak spot for the traditional baked mooncakes

I might buy a few snowskin ones for ah boy.

Next Monday will be 八月初一

Traditional means black lotus with one yolk?
I like snow skin , white lotus or pandan paste with one yolk ( not dry type)
I m not buying , think dh vendor will gift , also I want to be even lighter . Feel good when I m disciplined n looks good on the weighing scale - personal motivation

My favourite are the snowskin ones. I've started making my own coz I can also reduce the sugar level. The fabpuring sold are s'times overpowering esp those 'liquor' ones. Too much essence aftertaste.

Never been a fan of mooncakes.


If I do eat I go only for the traditional baked ones with lotus paste or teochew la piah. Not the yam ones but the traditional flakey skin with white lotus paste and pumpkin seeds filling. Even those, I will eat like only 1/8 of it and that’s it.
