Cheesy Shanghai Mooncake 上海月饼（芝士香）

Cheesy Shanghai Mooncake 上海月饼（芝士香）

This will be my last batch of mooncakes for this year, adapted from the famous recipe 鲸鱼蓝蓝蓝. This year I really rajin (hardworking) and crazy making mooncakes, personnaly i did not eat much of mooncakes, most of it are giving out to relatives..Traditional mooncakes and Flaky swirl yam mooncake were my 1st time trying except snowskin mooncakes. With this new Shanghai mooncakes, this year i have done three type of most popular mooncakes.











The dough is very easy to handle actually, very similar to Traditional mooncakes. Just flatten the dough using your palm, slowly push the dough to cover the whole lotus paste.

I highly recommend you to try out this recipe, very good indeed, buttery, creamy, cheesy and melt-in-mouth skin!! very difficult to describe the taste actually, one word " Tasty "! if say in Chinese, then i would say 咸香!

    Yeah, so rajin lah u. If for me, one type also very rewarding already, haha.

    I like shanghai mooncake the most because of the buttery skin I think. :)) As for the filling, I guess all types are the same.
