A Free Saturday

I was like quite free for a couple of Saturdays since my last Saturdays attending workshops. Actually, it was good to attend workshops so that I don't have to think about what to bake. Since now I'm free from attending workshops, I was looking for recipes to do some baking.

Bread was first thing on my baking list since I've not been baking breads often. The last loaf I baked was rather good, so I intended to make it a weekly bake. I baked some Wholemeal Almond Buns with modification from my course recipe. As I woke up very early on Saturday morning, I finished my bread by 10am. Then proceed on to bake Walnut Moontarts as I still have some white lotus paste left from my previous mooncake making. I managed to finish by lunch time, then after lunch, I continued to bake a cake as I was trying out a recipe for my new workshop.


So, being free from attending workshops, is actually good for me too! I can continue to bake and improve my skills! :)

Very First Attempt

I didn't think that I will attempt to bake this at first. However, after my colleague has tried and told me it's very good, I cannot resist it. Furthermore, my family likes to eat this, so I thought I might as well try to bake it. This is none other than the Walnut Moontarts! These walnut moontarts (or walnut mooncakes) were made famous by Harbour City Restaurant. We used to be really crazy over their moontarts. However, I seemed to have outgrown that now.


*Note: Not advertising for them.

But since my colleague has given me the recipe she found on a web, and it doesn't look so difficult, so I thought I might as well try baking it!

The recipe is extracted from Asiacuisine-Walnut Moon Cake.
