Went to do Mooncake today! First time doing mooncake and initially, the mooncakes came out was a bit strange and many was rejected. Almost the whole big plate of mooncake was rejected. So we have to redo them. Then because too many was rejected several times, our leader went to look for the chef to help us 'troubleshoot'. Turn out we left our snow skin in the air for too long and can't wrap the fillings or shape the mooncake properly.
Haha, so after lunch, everyone in the group was like expert in making mooncake. Shape was right, wording on the mooncake is more obvious and speed of making was faster. The mooncake actually is a bit difficult to make, especially the shaping part, cause sometime the wording and sometime shape don't seem to come out as obvious as it should be.

Trays of ingredients for groups to take/replenish. Different colours=Different taste =), like green tea or lotus flavour.



The chief demonstrating~.



Some simple steps to making moon cake!
(i)Prepare the skin and filling.


(ii) Row them into balls and wrap fillings in skin.



(iii) Put them into the 'template'






(iv) Squeeze it in.




(v) Slap it out.

(vi) And your mooncake is out!




Some rejected mooncake for volunteers to take home. But these mooncakes are just rejected because the wordings is not very obvious or just because some of them the fillings can be seen frm the outside.
