With the mid-autumn festival just around the corner, my friend (MJ) and I attempted to make snow skin mooncakes from scratch!
Last night was the experiment night. Coz it's a first attempt for both parties, we reckoned that we should to a 'test trial' to see how it turns out before we start making a lot for our friends to eat.
To our pleasant surprise....
mission - snow skin mooncakes was a SUCCESS!
Of coz its not as pretty as those sold in the shops,
no fancy pattern on the skin whatsoever; but close enough.
The most important thing is the TASTE...
and I must admit it kinda matches up!
*pat on the back for MJ and Me!*
We know mooncakes are supposed to be round and all.
But since we're here in Aust, kinda decided to add some 'ang mo' flava to it-
and started making star shaped mooncakes as well!
We did our sample lot in pink... but when we do the actual one sometime later this week, we're gonna have blue skinned ones, green tea flavoured skins, pandan flavoured ones and maybe coffee flavoured skins as well! Oh yummy... now i can't wait! Seriously it's not bad for a first attempt!
No pics of it at the moment. I'll try to get some soon!
