My Momoko

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 youtube and made my first mooncake mochi.

The mooncake molds were bought from Hong Kong.

Cake skin same as ice-cream mochi skin. Stuffing is cooked sweeten egg+milk.

Ooh, how neat! I've never seen a recipe quite like that -- it sounds delicious.

When Connie mentioned the name of this dessert called 奶黃冰皮月餅 to me. I have no idea what it is. Now I am seeing the picture, it looks so delicious. Your mooncake molds made them look even more authentic. I love mochi; they are soft and a bit chewy. Common mochi I got from store contain either red-bean paste or green-been paste. I have never had cooked sweeten egg+milk filling in mochi before. All your dessert creation are scrumptious, You are such a good baker.

Awww, I want to try!!! Have to go to Hong Kong Town here to find them Your cakes look so good!!!

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 almost gone, I am going to make some more, this time will make some green-bean paste stuffing. But I will need to go to Chinese grocery store to look around first.

Now, I know how to make the mochi skin, so how to wrap ice-cream in to make it like mochi ice-cream?

I think I'm going to be a Desert Mama.


Blue: I think you can find them at your China town.

Those look so pretty! I think I have had these at Chinese restaurants/dim sum? They are sweet and slightly crumbly on the inside? A nice way to round out a meal!


(You should try to make mochi ice cream and tell us how! lol)

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.

Ahh, hmm, then I will just have to eat one sometime so I know what it tastes like!!

Yum! Looks delicious

They look delightful Connie!

Asian food is presented so beautifully in my opinion! Ahhh...

(I say, after returning home today from Mitsuwa Japanese market here in San Diego).

Wow, I've never seen Mochi Mooncake and yours looks so beautiful and delicious. Was it hard to make?

Wow! So prettty!
I've had mochi with red bean paste when I was in Japan but I don't like the texture of the outside dough stuff.
Those look cool though, maybe I'll be able to get some at the Chinese supermarkets here.
