Me Time!

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.

I love cempedak filling of mooncake...but I think it's cheaper to buy a cempedak instead.
tried to find east ocean crispy yam from taka...but only saw peony jade and another brand.
didn't buy moon cakes this year, only 1 box of egg rolls from meixin.
