Traditional Lotus Paste Mooncake

When comes to mooncake selection, traditional baked mooncake is always out from my list, since young only loved the snow skin type, especially pandan flavour. Hmm.... Yummilicious!

After the mooncake workshop that I have attended last week, really gives me inspiration to give it a try. Next day, went to Phoon Huat, bought all the ingredients.

I am quite free today, gather all my ingredients and started on the mooncake skin portion first then follow by the lotus paste. There are only 2 type of lotus paste that I like most - white lotus paste and pandan lotus paste. Other than that, the others are too sweet for me.

Overall experience, not too bad, at least I am able to mould out with beautiful print on each of every mooncake.

Mooncake Magic Workshop

Rose, Pam and I signed up for the making mooncakes. This is not my 1st time learning on how to make mooncake. 10 years back I attended mooncake workshop together with my hubby, from then till now have not start to baked or make any of them.

Class size was supposed to be 8, due to last minutes time changed, 4 dropped out. We have so much fun, laughter and I really enjoyed, especially with a group of mommies that you know off.

Here the mommies holding their final product - snow skin mooncake.

What Would You Like To Be

A: W, what would you like to be or work as when you grow up like daddy?
W: mommy, what job can I earn lots of money?

Oh dear, almost faint when I hear what he asked. =_='
Nowadays, children are so different to those days. We will choose or pick what we like, maybe that's only me. When I were young, I would like to be a piano teacher or related to art craft work, unfortunately my parents disagreed with my decision.

A: W, you have to choose a job that you like, not looking into what earns a lot and you don't like it at all.
W: Hmm... Then I want to build my building.

He pause, look at me for a while and says, I want to order and instruct people to build.
Faint again! Wah! So ambitious thinking.

A: Singapore no more land for you to build, so when you grow up, you have to travel to other country to build your own designed building.
W: Why?
A: Singapore so small and the land is limited, only way is to travel out from Singapore to have your designed building build.
W: Hmmm... ... Let me think about it.

Then he walked away!

May2011 Random Thoughts

Oh gosh! I have not actively blog for so long. My life has been so busy and occupied with 2 kids, family and work. Sometimes feels like giving up everything, especially at work, makes me extremely tired and exhausted.

Everything seems different when I reached to my kids, their smiles, their laughter, their hugs and their kisses warm my heart. If not because of my family, I may not able to hang on till now, worthwhile to scarified. Love them so much!
