2nd batch of Mooncakes

My mom made a 2nd batch of mooncakes! The first one was almost gone as we had given most of them away. Mostly gave them to my grandparents in Melaka and a few people in Melaka. Lucky people!

This new batch my mom made the same types, but added pandan mooncakes. It is green in colour and very yummy. She also used a different mould for some of the mooncakes. She used a plastic mould rather than the wooden one. It is shallower, so can make more mooncakes, but smaller and shorter mooncakes. Will show you the mooncakes from the new mould below!


The plastic mould... 3 designs
I have been munching away on mooncakes yesterday. I like the fruit and nut one now. It is crunchy with all the nuts in there. So yum. The lotus paste mooncakes are nice too. But I have to eat in moderation coz mooncakes have a high sugar content! But my mom leaves the mooncake in a box on the kitchen counter and the temptation to eat them every time I am bored is always there. I think I will ask my mom to keep the mooncakes somewhere less accessible.

Anyway, the weather was cloudy yesterday so I tried taking photos of the mooncakes outdoors. It's my mini photo shoot. What happened was it started to rain and some water droplets fell on the mooncakes! 😲But my mom said they are still edible... just have to eat them quick before they turn mouldy. Mooncakes can't touch water. Here they are below... enjoy!
