WISHING ALL READERS
HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL
[MOONCAKE FESTIVAL]
DO ENJOY THE VARIOUS MOONCAKES
Crystal snowskin mooncake is actually pandan flavour [green colour] pin pi.
The original recipe comes from Yum Yum Magazine No. 80. The filling used in this recipe is coconut paste. Instead of coconut paste, I used pandan lotus seed paste [store bought] for the filling as I was lazy to prepare it.
The recipe below is only half portion of the original recipe as I was making some others at the same time.
[makes 70 x 5 pieces]
120 gm kao fun [fried glutinous flour]
70 gm icing sugar
1 tbsp shortening
175 ml pandan juice*
* [blend 3 big pandan leaves with about 200 ml. strain and chill until required]
Filling - store bought

Kimmy, maybe next year I should try a hand at making mooncakes :) This pandan flavour one is my favourite.
Hi Phong Hong, this year I wasn't in a mood to make many varieties. Too many recipes to do and AI'm at a lost. Pin Pi mooncakes are nice. Cool and soothing if the filling is not too sweet that's why I added the savoury tau sar. Will update the photos later.
Hi Kimmy, oh I can see the image of the mooncakes a pair of love birds 鸳鸯 ! I'm also very lost seeing so many varieties of mooncakes .. so many beautiful designs. I'm really blessed to learn from you and other blogger pals. At least I could make my 1st mooncakes ^-^!
Hi Karen, you won't stopped with only one. Many will follow, hehehe!
ahh got tausah as the yolk, I was wondering that that is:D Looks delicious, will try next year...my mooncakes making moon gone liao lol!
Hi Jeannie, I used this tau sar to mix with cream cheese for the filling. This year I skipped this. Too many varieties, spoilt for choice. These days we can make mooncakes anytime.

Hi Kimmy,
It has been many, many years that I've made any mooncakes. Am so lazy! Seeing your lovely mooncakes and the ones made by other bloggers, never fails to amaze me with the creativity, both in designs and flavours!
