Lotus Paste Mooncake

This year, 2009, mooncake festival falls on the 3rd of October and I am all prepared for it. Last year, we had major repair work in the kitchen so I missed out and couldn't make any mooncakes. After patiently waiting for a year, I finally get to use the funky plastic moulds that mom bought for me. I'm usually all for authenticity but the plastics moulds were easier to manage than wooden ones and the mooncakes turned out well. To learn more about this festival click here
