Mooncakes

Made the Cantonese mooncakes for the very first time. If it wasn't for my sister, I probably wouldn't have attempted this. It would be much easier buying a box! Since we cannot get good quality mooncake fillings where I live, I spent one whole day making lotus seed paste, red bean paste and the syrup. And then spending another day making the mooncake with my sister. Finished at 11 p.m. last night. Very tiring indeed, but worth it!

Wow, it looks great. Best part when u made it yourself is LESS SUGAR.

Great JOB

K, Andy has low expectation as far as my cooking/baking is concerned :D

Very true FoodCrazee. The ready-made paste I bought before didn't taste as good as this homemade one.

Yg punya kue siapa donk, kok lu yg bagi-bagi :D. Anytime deh, ambil aja di sini.

yah, foodcrazee is right. Those commercial ones are so sweet.

Good job done, Jan!
