Baked Mooncake or Snowskin Mooncake? hmm... Snowskin moonckae first. hehe... Never make mooncake before, so lets try. hehe .. There was alot of recepi in the internet, but we just try this simple one.
Recipe (10 pcs mooncake, using 5 - 6cm diameter mould):
-Plain/warm water - 300ml
-Icing sugar - 150ml
-Pandan paste - 1 tbsp
-Cooked glutinous flour - 200g
-Crisco - 50g
Ingredients and mould.
Mix icing sugar and cooked glutinous flour until well. Pour the flour into the water and stir to form dough. Remember, don't pour water into flour but the other way round. :)
This was the dough after we pour in the flour and stir it.
Add and mix the Crisco into the dough to make it soften.
Then we put the dough aside and we started rolling the paste into round shape.
Divide the dough into portions and put in the paste.
Covered up the paste and rub some flour to it before you put into mould to make a shape.
Done. :D
If you can't wait, you can eat it when ready or you can put into fridge first.
Look good in the inside. Time to share with family and friends. Yummy! Happy Trying. :D

There were mix opinion about the taste of the foods but overall nice and with fare price. worth to try. :D
Kuching Festival is an yearly event that held in Kuching, Sarawak. This was the second times I went there with my colleagues this time. Still alots of people and very hot. Eat alots of things as well. The fried durian was the famous store around, the queue was way way long. hmm, lazy to queue, wonder how the taste was and remain mystery to me. hehe .. Oh, remember to tryout the Wang Wang Moon Shrimp Cake (旺旺月亮虾饼）, nice as well, the store was near the primary school side.
The next thing to do was put the pastry into the cup, filling it and bake it.
Row the pastry and place into the aluminum cup and use fork to poke some holes at the base.
Start filling the cup one by one.
Once finish filling, cut another pastry enough to cover the top of the pie.
After put on the cover, use fork to poke some holes on the cover.
