Questions for Pink & experts:
Re: Snowskin
i used the redman premix. the snowskin is so soft! i have problem wrapping the filling up. and when i mould, maybe press too hard? can see the filling leow. sigh. i used about half half proportion. or is the skin supposed to be thick thick so cannot see filling? how to seal up the filling nicely? mine always got "folds".

Re: Crispy Skin
How to get pretty spirals like AY? Somehow after I roll, the skin is too little for the filling? and sealing up is also a problem. No skill lah. But it's yummy!

Re: Yam Fillings
How to "compact" it? Mine quite soft when wrapping. After baking not solid solid, unlike the red bean paste I bought from PH. Then after 2 days, the filling becomes dry?

hwee/TL, now u know why i looking for the cutters... haha...

1-0, yah, it's my mum's and grandma's fav too! that's why i bother to try it out. hehe. i dun really find it very difficult to make, just that i feel tired after everything was done. took me about 3 hours, but i'm slow lah, cos first time. i followed AY's recipe, except that instead of frying (too oily), i baked it at 180deg until golden. yield 16 medium moonies, gave to grandma, mum and MIL. they ask me to make some more! pengz...

I never handle a duck egg b4, is it like normal egg, crack the shell, and remove the white? wash the yolk under running water? pardon my stupid qns

Btw, can steaming do the job? dun hv oven in my mum's place where i normally stay during wkday.
 
Mdl
I only make once many year ago, hehe! Ya, remove the white, wash clean. Not sure of steaming will become waterly or not. Do u have microwave? Micro it a while also can.
 
Thanks ixorarred & pink for the durian snowskin mooncake, once i get the mould will try it out.

Pink, Must i put gelatine in the durian puree? or juz scrap out the flesh then freeze it?
 
hi, anyone ordered mooncake moulds from ravenouss or e's joie? can share what you ordered (and why)? i'm having problems deciding. haha.

Dear mummies- nice fruits.

I love ex-Crown Prince Crispy Yam Mooncake. Any idea where to get now?

Jen - yours were nice.
 
Thanks Sngiam for your vote! You like the Crown Prince Crispy Yam mooncake too? My uncle was the head pastry chef there and this mooncake was his creation! Pity when the new Park Hotel management took over, they retrenched the entire team of workers so currently, he's still jobless
sad.gif
He was even sent to Japan for culinary competition!
 
sngiam, Angel,
they are still available. Under Imperial treats at Park Palace. The hotel staff just brought to my office as samples for us.

But some of my colleagues says eater palace test better
 
Hi Angel / CL

I used to always queue up the Crown Prince to buy the Crispy Yam Mooncake.

CL - Where is Park Palace? Maybe I go and get some for my parent & MIL.

Hi mummies

Would like to ask about icing. Today i hv tried doing the buttercream icing(using only butter and icing sugar but immediately when i spread on the cupcake the buttercream melt). Wat is the difference between using butter, whipping cream and cream cheese as icing? After decorating the cupcake, do i need to put the cupcake in the fridge(keep it fresh). Can i hv the easiest method of icing? Sori for asking so much question, any mummy can help

Think my oven temp is too hot and I underbaked it. Will try again!
 

sngiam73, last year I heard that Crown Prince yam mooncake is sold at Garden Pastry. I bought it last year for my mum but not sure if it's the same baker. PM me if you want the address.

CL, email me abt the mooncake too leh! I'm interested!
