This is very pretty! Guess it's a belated mid autumn celebration? Can you taste the dragon fruit scent in it? Just curious. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the pink hue on the skin, very girly and nice :p
ReplyDeleteHi! Just want to thank you for dropping by my blog...you have a very pretty pastry here, love the pink!
ReplyDeleteLena, your pastry goodies look really really scrumptious. Love the girly pink! Oh yes, I tried the dragon fruit lotus paste this year. Very tasty! I got those at other places. Thanks. Hope you're having a wonderful evening.

Lena, these pastries look so pretty! Drooling!
ReplyDeletethanks all. honey bee, the dragon fruit filling is nice but i doesnt taste like dragon fruit though..maybe some kind of essence..
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, gracious me, they are simply lovely, Lena. I must put this link in my "someday" file, if only...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing...
Lena, when you posted this, Quay Po Cooks was not even born yet! hehe...So happy you include this in your 7 links. LOVE the pasty of this moon cake, looks so flaky! The prettiest moon cake I ever saw!! I don't think I can even imagine I can do something like this!
ReplyDeleteHow do you make the filling? :O Looks very interesting.
ReplyDeletekenny: not so clever to cook the filling yet..this was bought ready made :D
ReplyDeletelena: oh i see! The skin alone looks fairly time consuming so it is understandable. I can only dream of being able to buy that kind of filling in Scotland. lol
ReplyDeleteKenny: no ready made mooncake fillings over there? not even lotus seed filling?
ReplyDeleteActually you are right. I can probably get tinned lotus or red bean paste filling but i don't really like either!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you know how to make taro or green tea filling. Once someone got me some mooncakes from Taiwan with those flavours and they were much lighter than the normal cantonese ones and i fell in love with them. :)
hi kenny, i've never made mooncakes filling before but let me refer you to this post, a blogger friend of mine who has made taro filling for her mooncakes..

ReplyDeleteOh my heavens, Lena. Your Mooncakes look so lovely. I'm just going to have to take this link right over to that Dragonfruit post I did a while back.
