Avocado Prawn Savoury Pie


This is my second homemade pie after the Curry Chicken Pie.  Another wonderful experience, I found myself completing the pie much faster than before.  Here, I needed to blind bake the crust twice to 80% cooked before filling the ingredients.
It is such a delicious pie, glad that I bought this book, I can learn even more pie recipes here.

Custard Mooncake



It is very delicious,  I especially love the texture and flavour of the custard. The soft, thin pastry skin, flavoured with a hint of syrup is the best. It is interesting to do egg wash 3 times and  a syrup wash. I was tired in the end :)
Overall, it is something worth going through and I  would like to do it again next year.

Gongzai (Doll) Mooncake



These are the soft textured version of the Gongzai Mooncake. They are plain but full of syrup flavour, and it gets more intense the longer you keep it.  They are good to keep for quite a number of weeks.

Kluang Mooncake


Another tasty mooncake here.  Just be sure to slice after it is completely cooled as the crust is soft, which may be separated easily when it is still hot.

Traditional Mooncake ( Cantonese style)


I know I can't go wrong with Christines's recipes,  it turned out very good on the third day. This is what we want, a very thin and shinny layer of pastry.
