Crystal mooncake
September 30, 2009
Today I went to pick up homemade Ping pi (Crystal mooncake) from a friend of mine, more commonly known in this blog as Soupy. Rob came up with that name, long story for another day.
The first time I tried it was back in 2005 when we were working together. Since then, I’ve been pestering her at almost a yearly basis for ping pi, because it was yummy!
After many chants text messages of “ping pi ping pi ping pi ping pi”, she had no choice finally made some for me yesterday. Yes, I have no shame at all.
This year she introduced me to something new, agar agar mooncake, which I have never tried before. I have to say they were pretty good!
I found it kinda ironic how much I enjoyed the agar agar mooncake, since I literally got burnt from making plain agar agar last week. Gee I wonder why the agar agar is pinkish? Hmmmmm
With red bean paste filling. YUM
Nom nom nom.
Thank you Siew Pin. ~muah~
P/S While I was enjoying my mooncakes and taking pictures, guess who was watching by the door?
