Hi Aunty Yochana,

Sorry to trouble you again. The almond flakes that you mention is referring to those which we can get from phoon huat? or those corn flakes type of cereals?

Hi Aunty Yochana,

I've tried out this recipe. The mooncake taste great on the very day. But the becomes soft the next day...and the fillings become hard. Do I need to put it in the fridge?
