Made Green Tea Snow Skin Mooncake just now. Using Zu’s Snow Skin recipe. For the filling I use lotus seed paste which I bought from PH. I guess I had use too much strength to roll the lotus seed paste into balls as you can see the yolk in the lotus seed paste got “crushed”. Notice Josh (gan55) & Zu shares about the same recipe and Josh (gan55) had condensed milk in it. I omit the condensed milk cause I didn’t want to open the whole tin of condensed milk LOL.

It my first time making mooncake, mom said I had too much filling ain’t mooncake are like that? And now she had asked for the durian filling. I’ll be start baking the baked mooncake tomorrow I wonder how it turns out. Wish me luck ^^.

Closer Look.

I had made some plain mooncakes, I didn’t not that the photo. Suppose to add some melon seed in it. I had forgotten to buy when I’m at Phoon Huat yesterday then I though of adding pumpkin seed but too lazy to going downstairs buy.

I had make 2 of the big mooncakes too, it suppose to be the small mooncakes. When I bring it to mould I find it too big for the small mooncake mould so I end up using the big one. Finally result?  2 flat mooncakes LOL.
