For the classic and traditional mooncake, try Baked Mooncake with Lotus Paste & Single Yolk. It is made with high-quality lotus seed. The salted aromatic egg yolk fused splendidly with a classic sweet pure lotus seed paste makes this smooth and soft mooncake taste even superior.

Shanghai Mooncakes are special as such for their buttery and crisp pastry with sweet lotus filling. I love Shanghai mooncake especially for its crumbly melt-the-mouth texture pastry skin, with the soft and sweet lotus paste filling and enhance the savoury taste from the salted egg yolk.

Chef Chan's creative fusion of the Shanghai Mooncake with Single Yolk & Duo Paste of Jade Pandan & Supreme White Lotus will definitely titillate your palate. The White Lotus and Jade Pandan paired up wonderfully together with the salted egg yolk, giving you a joint of different flavours in one bite. The pastry skin is not too thick and crumbles easily when you sink your teeth into it. Thumbs up to that!

Lucky me on that day, I was offered an exclusive One-To-One Mooncake-Making Session with Chef Chan Wooi Leong during the media review at Summer Palace Restaurant. Chef Chan shows us the step-by-step method of making Crystal Green Tea with Single Yolk.

Chef Chan prepared the three main ingredients to make a snow skin green tea mooncake. I started off with getting the right portion in weight for the green tea snow skin paste at approximately 110 grams, followed by the green tea lotus paste at 60 grams only. Kneading and shaping the mooncake skin takes place, steady and easy under the watchful eye of the chef. 
   
Next, make a hole in the lotus paste to fit a single egg yolk and roll and shape carefully with our palm into a ball shape. With the filling in place, Chef Chan guided me to wrap the snow skin firmly around the lotus filling.

Finally, sprinkle some flour into the mooncake mould and place the mooncake into the wooden mooncake mould. Lightly press the mooncake, then remove it from the mould by hitting it firmly on the table. Voila, here you are my personalised handmade mooncake by Auntie Lilly!
