RE: Happy 2025 Chinese Mid-Autumn festival , Oct 1st to Oct 8th

This is the first time I've actually watched a video of how to make moon cakes, it does seem incredibly easy just like my sister says, though I wouldn't make the filling myself, just buy it from the shops is much easier! Normally lotus paste filling is a lot more expensive than red bean paste, I'm surprised it's the other way round where you are.
Did I mention you can microwave the moon cake for a little while just enough for the yolk to heat up tiny bit, it releases the aroma and softens the paste so it doesn't feel like you're biting into a brick. It takes a lot better!
Happy moon festival!

My local Asian T&T store do not carry the PVC mold device used to form the cake itself. Checking good old Amazon I can find the bigger 100g to 125g size device to suit my needs. I want big! Then there is the old fashion method of pounding the Mooncake into the wooden mold version. Looks like fun.
The Lotus seed should be more expensive, that makes sense. I regret having not learned to read Chinese as I may have grabbed this cake from the substandard Bakery seconds (As long as they haven't been dropped on the floor kind). I'll be trying the Red Bean version too.
Happiness is a warm Mooncake, next to a hot cup of tea.
Happy Mid-Autumn Mooncake festival for you too Sis.
