Baked Salted Egg Yolk Custard Mooncakes 咸蛋奶黃月饼

This was one of the mooncake recipe that i didn't expect to be nice, so i made a small batch. But it turned out nice and less sweet. The pastry turned soft very fast, only took overnight to become soft. Anyway it was quite difficult to handle the soft custard filling while shaping. Hopefully i can improve this recipe if i make again next year ^_^.

Rabbit Kluang Mooncake 兔子形居鑾月餅

Last year i replicated the famous Kluang mooncake using my best melt-in-mouth pastry . It was well received by my family especially my sister.

Furthermore Chinese believed the Jade Rabbit was an animal that lived on the moon and accompanied Chang'e, read more here, so it is a lucky animal ^_^.

Kluang Mooncake 居鑾月餅

Do you know this famous mooncake from Kluang 居銮 ( a small town located at the state of Johor in Malaysia) ? I also recently know this mooncake. According to Johorkaki, Yuen Fatt 源發餅家was the first bakery shop to introduce the Shanghai style of mooncakes in Malaysia. And they shaped the Shanghai mooncake in an unique way that look like rugby ball for me, but some said it look like a mouse, a fox or fish. When my mom first look at this mooncake, she said it look like tortoise ^_^ (For Chinese, tortoise is a good symbol of long life). Anyway, i didn't get a chance to try the real Kluang mooncake. So i have to do it myself according to the taste that i read on few website. The outer pastry as described is melt-in-mouth type, immediately i think of my pineapple tart's pastry.

Nevertheless, I was happy to see the natural nice blue from blue pea flower (bunga telang).

This recipe was highly recommended by a customer i met when i was shopping at the usual bakery ingredients shop. She said this recipe was sharing by the owner of this shop few years ago and it was published in a Chinese newspaper. She is true, the crumbly buttery pastry, sweet red bean paste and salty taste from salted egg yolk, their taste just well blended together..and you will not feel too sweet to taste this mooncake.
