After my failed attempt at making moon cake few years ago, I have stopped making moon cake for a few years now. This year, i got the mood to making them again...
Tried making 3 types of moon cake this year.
1. Ribena Snowskin Mooncake with homemade yam fillings and melon seed- FAIL
---Snowskin is acceptable but the yam filling is not as nice as i would have expected. It was towards the wet side and there is this oily taste that i don't like....

---The skin is too soft after 2 days of waiting to "chu4 you2" and again the yam fillings wasnt as what i would have expected. Also by Day 4, the moon cake starts to turn mouldy.
3. Ice Cream Soda/Orange Juice Snowskin Mooncake with Green Tea Green Bean paste and dried cranberries-SUCCESS

Finally, I gave up making fillings paste and decided to "guai1 guai1" use store-bought Green Tea Green Bean Paste (No Added Sugar Version), and make some snowskin using Ice Cream Soda and Orange Juice. It is nice, the sweetness of the Green Tea Green Bean Paste is balanced with a tinge of sourness from the dried cranberries :)
INGREDIENTS FOR THE SNOWSKIN:
