Autumn Festival

Since Autumn festival is coming soon and the prices of mooncakes goes up tremendously every year and with the economy downturn, I decided to go for the mooncake making class under the expertise of Chef Alex Goh. I have quite a number of his recipe books but have not meet him. When I saw that there was a mooncake making class by him I quickly grasped the opportunity. He is jovial and not selfish. He answered all questions that were asked and was very generous with his tips. I enjoyed his class and really glad that I attended his class. We were taught how to make Cantonese, rainbow and snow skin(ping pei) mooncakes.

Today, I took the time to try out the snow skin (ping pei) mooncakes. Since this is my first attempt, I am quite satisfied with the results. I still have to master the moulding techniques then i will have a perfect and flawless mooncake. You can view my results of my first attempt.

The Lotus paste need to be weighed equally in order to mould them into the same sizes

My brother and my family were satisfied with the results, and my brother said that I can sell them but I think I need more attempts to improve. Anyway more will be on the way. My next experiment will be the Cantonese and the rainbow mooncakes. So wait for NEXT CHANGE.
