Did a man really walked the moon? Cuz we ate the moon

Oh yes, its that time of the year: Mooncake season among 
the Chinese people which also named the Mid-Autumn Festival. 
I don't know much about this happening except that
people eat the traditional mooncakes, a cake with a 
red bean/lotus paste filling with in the center a salted egg
yolk, that suppose represents the moon. Hence mooncakes. 

Too be honest mooncakes were never really my favorite
and I prefer eating them without the smelly egg yolk. More
preferable the 'snow skin mooncake', that comes in fruity
flavors! 

In my family, my auntie F. is like our pastry queen and
she's really master in making mooncakes. So when I was
HK, she taught me how to make them! Enjoy the
pictures below!

Homemade red bean paste? Check!

Eggs ready? Check!

Wrap up the red bean paste, shove it in the mold and press! 

This hideous one is made by me - I lost control of the mold.....

  2. Well done for making them! I was going to and then never got round to it (made custard egg tarts instead!) because my it looked too fiddly and I'd have had to order a mould online. I don't think your one turned out too badly haha. We've got a box of TRIPLE yolk moon cakes at the moment - I'm in heaven!

  6. Yees, mooncake season! When I was younger, I hated it especially because of the egg. But now I really love eating them and you're also right, the snow skin mooncakes taste the best.

  11. I LUVVV red beans <3
    Ik weet nog dat ik in China allerlei soorten mooncake probeerde omdat ze zo mooi waren, maar uiteindelijk vond ik er geen een die ik lekker vond, lol :P Maar toen was ik nog niet gewend aan de smaak van rode bonen, I bet yours are yummy!!

  17. Wow, kan jij die zelf maken?? Omg master teach me. Leuke mold :p wist niet eens dat die bestonden.

    Ik vind het eigeel juist het lekkerst! Wij moeten samen zo'n mooncake eten. Perfect combo, jij neemt de lotus en ik neem het eigeel haha!

  18. I definitely prefer them without the yolk too, they are so much better that way!

  19. I've never eaten mooncake before because i don't like the texture of the traditional mooncake ^^;; but i tried the snowskin one a little...just because i feel eating the snowskin one is like eating an ice cream cake :P it's not bad,of course. it's sweet so i try to avoid it, especially after knowing that snowskin mooncake has the highest calories compared to other mooncakes T__T
    omg you can make your own mooncake *o* haha i'd love to see you make the snowskin one :3
