My Momoko

Mikan, I don't think u can eat Mochi Mooncake at Chinese restaurant as dim sum, because it's a festival food, and usually cost so much during mid-autumn festival.

Thanks Jishin, Dana and Blue! Dana: I tried those Taiwan style mochi too, the mochi skin is so thick, but chewy, just like Japanese daifuku (草餅). I love daifuku. I used to have the recipe of making daifuku. But my husband doesn't like daifuku. 10/3 is mid-autumn, and my Mochi Mooncake al...

Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again, it will be on 10/3/2009 This year I first trial to make some Mooncake mochi, it's not typical mooncake, this kind of Mooncake mochi been popular in Hong Kong for a few years, as it's hard to buy here in USA, especially in St. Louis, so I searched the recipe on yo...

Where is May now? She suppose to visit me in Dec. Is there any delay?

Dana, Wing Wah mooncake with yolk is much better than no yolk, but I couldn't get those with yolk this year, all sold out.

Finally got a box of mooncake on Tuesday from a Chinese grocery store. I was planned to buy double yolk mooncake (no single yolk available in the store, other I would buy single yolk), but all gone, so I bought this no yolk mooncake. Wing Wah is my favorite brand which I ate every year when I was in...

Oh! Good idea! Then I have to take some pictures too, I just went to the Chinese grocery store and bought a box of Wing Wah Mooncake.
But I like your mooncake boxes.

Thanks Mikan , whispering-leaf , blackiegracie , teddybear4me2 and nataluna for your sweet comments. Forgot to say that those sands are very rough, not smooth. Mikan , blackiegracie : That day is very nice, with nice weather and clouds on the sky, we don't have nice clouds on the sky everyday. There...

There is no sea in mid-west, but we have lakes, the closer lake near my home is not allow for swimming, so nothing to say now. Today, I would like to introduce you a recreation beach, Chapel Hill Beach. It is at a corner of the Council Bluff Lake. From my home to the beach, 2.0 hours 3 minutes drivi...
