Mooncake







I baked some mini mooncakes for the first time and boy it was not easy easy feat. I really need to invest on some good tools. The taste is nothing to be proud of. But maybe next year it would be better.







I was way too ambitious and added orange flower essence for the snowskin and orange juice in the red bean paste. Maybe I should stick to the traditional recipe. 











Couldn't get any pumpkin seed over here but had to improvise a bit with almond. I suppose it is okay? And yes I killed a koi fish.









I suppose I shouldn't post a recipe here as it is not so good. Don't want any koi fishes harmed!

  2. It wasn't my favourite too. I suppose when I can't get something, it makes me want to have it more.
