Mini Mooncakes/piggy Mooncakes



Today, I thought I will give mooncake another try again. I followed a recipe from the web, it turned out really nice. Although, again I find the color of the mooncake is a little paler than shop's type. Regardless, I am much more satisfied with the result compare the my first trial.
I did not make any red bean paste for this patch of mooncakes. I found this in one of the local oriental supermarket. The paste is much more softer than my homemade red bean paste. I put the paste in the fridge just to harden up abit so I can roll into balls. A bit too sweet for my liking too.
In the same shop I bought these Jelly moulds. I use them for my mini mooncakes as I cannot find any mooncake mould in Perth. The definition of the mooncake is not so fine but eh, I am not complaining, chinese say, "no fish, prawns also can lah"
