mooncakes

[mommylow]

Thanks for the tip-off, Mychildren. I usually buy the baked ones. It’s true the snow skin types do not require baking and they are also my favs. Good thing we can learn to make our own snow skin moon cakes. They are actually easier to make sans baking. Baked moon cakes tend to crack easily if pastry and temp is not well controlled.


Actually my speciality for baking is pineapple tarts. My friends and relatives rave about them. So encouraging.

I love pineapple tarts but not as good as though sell by the Malays. Can u don’t mind to share the recipe here?

Tis year raffles snow skin truffle brandy filling is irresistible.

I Dnt hv a sweet tooth but this one is simply yummy!!
Not too sweet and taste like bitter chocolate.
The skin melts in the mouth.
Not oily like traditional lotus paste.
I could gobble up the whole one piece and still wants more.
Sigh. No wonder I couldn’t fit into my pompom costume…
Yaks …

I was like Jennifer too until two days ago. Thanks to the folks around me, I hv tasted so many brands of moon cakes and decided that they all taste the same. I guess I am not very picky. Until I tasted one two days ago… Wah piang, that one cannot make it. I only took a bit from a quarter. The rest went to the the dustbin… So yup, not all moon cakes taste the same. Some are better.

I used to have a sweet tooth.

I now prefers dark choco to sweet stuff. Taste buds hv changed lor.

Even my x-favourite yam mooncake now taste so-so to me liao. Think the traditional orh-nee is more appealing than yam mooncakes.
