With Mid-Autumn festival about the corner, that can only imply one issue: it is mooncake time. You can try to discover the frozen pandan leaves (screwpine leaves) at the asian groceries shop is you can’t get the fresh ones at your place. The mooncake image popped up in the appropriate side-bar, which intrigued me to study your post and save your recipe. I’m so disappointed and I wish I knew the reason why to preent the dilemma from happening again, wonder if it”s due to the skin recipe or the filling.
I’m going to share with you a single of the snowskin mooncakes that was truly well known when I was selling them last year—this pandan custard snowskin mooncake. Lotus seeds are viewed as by some to be the original and most luxurious mooncake filling and is discovered in all forms of mooncakes.

Durian may not be for the faint-hearted, but it does make for a moreish ingredient when paired with coconut flavours on InterContinental Singapore’s mooncake menu this year. If you do not have a mooncake mold, you can obtain 1 right here or use something else you have on hand. Greatest – Delicieuse Princesse’s coconut mooncake ($four.five). Although it is also the most costly, you get your money’s worth due to the fact you can SEE the shredded coconut filling and in fact TASTE it. The filling has texture and is not blended with disproportionate amounts of sugar and oil.
If you are seeking for some thing to give away, the Fullerton 15 Treasures Premium gift set (S$189) featuring a white lotus seed paste and eight-yolk mooncake surrounded by 14 mini baked mooncakes of assorted flavours looks as impressive as it sounds. Similarly as my prior mooncake, I baked a ‘flatter’ mooncake 1/2 portion using the typical mooncake mold. The mooncake is described as a combination of tieguanyin with cheese and coconut paste.
