Can be bake..

This time round, I baked my spiral yam mooncake instead of frying, it's much more healthier, and easier to handle, the taste is not so bad, but i still prefer deep fry version.

Few days ago, I did some walnut mooncakes and upon recommendation from my friend, I used blue diamond brand  walnut and It's goes very well with the pastry, crunchy and fragant. Now, I like the idea of using this, it's a bit more expensive but the walnuts inside won't be easily be rancid as those sell in packets.

Turkey

I asked my brother whether he wanted a turkey to celebrate Christmas, but my sis-in-law requested for her birthday on Monday. Well, no problem to me, took half day leave to bake turkey for her.



In the meanwhile, while waiting for the turkey to be baked, I made a peach tart, for her as well for dessert using my new microwave oven. My first try, hmmm... think is not so bad. ha! Ha!

Belated Moocakes

S was telling me how good is Goodwood Park snowskin durian mooncake, and I search through web and there are few places of recommendation. Went to Goodwood Park and Marriot Hotel to by durian snowskin just to try. I tried one from Emicakes too.

I was crazy and curious, and beento places to learn and finally had it at Anna Cooking Art taught by Chef Winnie.

Eat hers and I made using her recipe, taste turn out to be different, maybe it's the durian that I have houth that's alter the taste??? Was telling S and discussing and asking, decided to go another round by twitching some ingredients in the recipe, Had it on the texture and taste and decided that this recipe is a keeper. Comfirmed by my 51/2 year old niece who wanted as big as a birthday cake..hee!hee! Have to wait for durian season again.Thank god, now don't have good durians and I am taking a break from this thorn fruit, getting a bit sick.



My friends has been making agar agar mooncake, and has given me some. S gave me chendol red bean agar agar mooncke, another friend, c, gave a box of assorted agar agar mooncake. The other 3 flavours has been eaten only that's is left is lychee agar agar mooncake. It was wonderful of them to share with me. Thank you S & C.
