Although there is no public holiday to mark the occasion, the Mid Autumn Festival is one of my favourite times of the year. I simply love mooncakes, be it the traditional baked ones or the colorful and full-of-surprises snowskin ones. If you leave mooncakes in my house, sooner or later but surely, they will all be devoured by yours truly me, even if the rest of the family won't lay a finger on them because they are so sweet and so fattening.. To me, they are simply divine and so irresistible!
As the festival draws near and without ample preparation time, I thought I would have to wait till next year to accomplish my wish. But an enthusiastic and veteran baker - Aunty Nancy, 'jio' me to join her! Boy, am I excited!! Though Nancy claimed to be inexperienced too and has just learned from the more experienced bloggers, I am absolutely sure she has done her homework thoroughly and we were using only the most delicious and tested-and-tried recipes and method! Oh ya, Nancy's Princess Chloe was a great help as she is even more experienced than me. She even let me tried her rainbow 7-up snowskin mooncakes which were very yummy! ;) The unusual piglets were the brainchild of both Chloe and Qiqi.. I had a great time! Can't wait to do it all over again before this year's Mooncake Festival is over. And oh oh, did I mention that every single of the mooncake has a piece of gold.. golden eggyolk in it? That's the beauty - you get to put your favourite ingredient anywhere and everywhere you like! .. even in the snowskin ones!! ;P Hmm.. maybe I can attempt to cook my own lotus paste next year?
