aunty wats the diff btwn kao fen n HK kao fen..?
And how to make those goodwood kind of durian mooncake huh....?
Hong Kong Kao fen is a better quality kuo fen. It makes your snow skin softer.
huh....amrita..aunty is not so pro as to know how to make goodwood park kind of durian mooncake.
Nonetheless, if you want 100% pure durian, this is it.

Hi Lucy, I am very impressed with all the mooncakes you came up with. Goodwood won't be able to come up with all these versions. You are a pro in your own rights.
Thanks for sharing all these lovely mooncake recipes.

hiya yochana,
i'm having problem with lotus paste again. i 'defrost' them yesterday and bake the mooncakes etc. however i still have abt 0.5kg left and i dont have fridge. so its lying on my table. do u think its still okay for me to use it today? i immediately put them into fridge when i bought them for the 1st day (because its not air pack). so u think its safe to use again? thanks
jen,
try to finish your lotus paste before it turn mouldy. If your lotus paste doesn't have traces of moulds, then it's ok to use.
rgds
Hi yochana, where can we buy the HK fried glutionous rice flour ?

Hi,
Look so delicious... I really want to make this mooncake but nobody sell durian here, I can find durian paste though. Can I make without durian flesh? maybe add more glutinous flour? Do you know how to make homemade kao fen? I cannot find kao fen here. Thanks,
Hi anonymous,
I don't know how to make kao fen. Just omit the durian flesh if you don't have durians over there. You can use chempedak instead.

Hi Aunty,
I intend to do some durian mooncake tomorrow , can I cook the durian paste today and use it tomorrow ? Must I keep in the fridge or under room temp will do ?
Thank You... Sorry for the trouble , my time very limited cos I have a little baby boy to look after , can only do when he is sleeping or not around.Ha..
Hi Lisa,
Normally I will cook the paste a day ahead before making the snow skin durian mooncake.
Wow...cute little baby boy huh..
rgds
Hi Aunty ,
I had just gone to prepare the ingredient of the durian paste.I will cook the paste tonight when my bb has slept , so I can just leave it under room temp ,no need to keep in the fridge , right?Thank you for your reply . It is so nice to have someone like you to ask when we have questions , and so kind of you to share with everybody . Thanks for your precious time.
You're most welcome Lisa.
If you are using tomorrow , then you don't have to put in the fridge but if you want to keep for a few days, you have to keep in the fridge. I prefer not to keep in the fridge because of condensation. I don't like the wet feeling on the paste.
rgds
Hi Aunty,
May i ask what is Maltose?
Can buy from sunlik as well? thks =)
kim
Hi chezzyheart,
maltose is actually sugar cooked into a thick amber coloured paste or nowadays we also have the crystal clear maltose. You can buy it from wet market. I'm not too sure whether sun lik sells it. Try Phoon huat or NTUC, Giant.
rgds
Hi aunty yo,
i would like to fry some of this durian paste to keep.
May i know, how should i store them? How long can i keep them for?
Thanks, u have a great weekend!
Hi jas,
don't keep too long. It will turn mouldy. Try to eat it fresh.
rgds
Hi Yochana
For durian paste can i substitute: 1)maltose with honey or mooncake syrup? 2)Teng mien flour can change to any other flour?
Many thks ahead for your help.
c.c.
Hi c.c.
Use golden syrup to replace maltose.
For tang mien flour, replace it with Tapioca flour.
rgds
Dear Yochana,
May i know those left over criso need to put in frigde?
For yr traditonal mooncake recipe can make how many pcs?
many thanks....
Hi,
Leftover crisco no need to keep in the fridge.
Traditional mooncake recipe can make about 17 to 18 pieces.
rgds
Hihi, A bit Shua Gu here... need to ask a few questions. :)
- Fry durian flesh = without oil right? the fire should be small or medium? usually how long does it take to fry?
- Fried Glutinous Rice flour = we need to fry the glutinous rice flour? Or it's just the rice flour (kou fen) from the packet?
- How many durian mooncakes (Small) can this make?
- Can all of the ingredients be bought from phoon huat/NTUC?
Thanks!!! :)
Hi Ashley,
Fry the durian meat over low heat. No need to fry the glutinous rice flour. Just add it in straight from the packet.
I suggest that you buy your ingredients for mooncakes either from Sun Lik or Kwong Cheong Thye which I did. The one you suggested might not give you the same result as mine.
Rgds
Hi aunty!
if i dun wish to add santan powder, do i need to replace with with anything? or jus omit it entirely without replacing with anything?
thanks!
Hi You Fei,
you can just omit it.
rgds
Hi Aunty
Great blog!! I wish to ask, can i reduce your pure durian snowskin mooncake recipe to yield less mooncakes? Will halving the recipe work for an end result of half of mooncakes as per recipe? Cos i have a small mooncake mould and I think I might end up with alot of mooncakes using your recipe.
Thanks and regards,
Lynn
Hi Yochana,
For this recipe, can we add tang mien flour? Can I just smesh up the durian flesh, to get pure durian paste
Btw, you posted different snow skin moon cake with different amount of each ingretients, which is soft & good snow skin? Thanks
anonymous
Hi Lynn,
of course you can cut down to yield a smaller quantity. i think normally 1 recipe will get slightly more than 12 pieces depending on the size of your mould.
rgds
Hi Aunty
Its lynn again, thanks for your prompt reply. I live in Melbourne and I have difficulty finding the wheat starch for the recipe. However, I found wheat flour from the asian grocery here, on the packet label it says wheat flour for pastries and biscuits. (from indonesia) Is it ok to substitute wheat flour for wheat starch in this recipe?
Thanks again,
Lynn
Hi Lynn.
Wheat flour might not be the same as wheat starch...
just omit it if you don't have it .
rgds
Hi aunty,
May I know if I can use this durian filling for traditional mooncake? Thanks.

Yen Li
Hello Aunty Yochana,
Thank you for directing me to your recipe site! You mentioned that your supplies are from Sun Lik / Kwong Cheong Thye. Will I be able to get all of them (including paste) from Sun Lik?
I'm hoping to try making the snowskin mooncakes with ready-made paste 1st as it's my 1st try and I have no baking experience since I don't have an oven.. :)
Thank you!!!
Karen
Hi Karen,
Oh yes, you definitely can get all the supplies from them. Sun Lik has also a lot of cake baking utensils and ingredients.
rgds
Oh Yes yen Li,
You can use this paste for Traditional Mooncakes.
rgds
Hi aunty,
Would like to give this recipe a try soon. May I know what kind of oil to use?
Regards,
You Fei
hi aunty yochana, can i omit the shortening? will it make a very big difference? your recipes are awesome by the way :)
Hi You Fei,
You can use either cornoil or peanut oil.
rgds
Hi janis,
without shortening, it will be sticky.
rgds
hi janis
It's a must to add in shortening otherwise the snow skin will be sticky.

Hi Lucy,

Hi Kelly

rgds
yay thank u for your reply! just in time for me to try to make it tonight :D
thank u for e recipe, im sure it will turn out nice!
hi aunt yochana,
first time trying to make snowskin durian mooncake.
a few questions here...
you said ' add in maltose, essence...'
what is essence? are you referring to the 1/2 tsp durian paste?
same for the snow skin ingredients....1/4 tsp durian paste... to add where???? in your methods, you didn't mention.
For your 'white snow skin mooncake', you said something like...mix kao fen, tang mien flour and shortening together by the rubbing-in method...
what is rubbing-in method?
sorri, i am new, dont really understand these baking terms...hope you can enlighten me.
last but not least, thanks so much.
wish you and family have a wonderful mooncake festival!
Hi Aunty yochana,
like to check with u. for ur durian mooncake recipe, how many mini mooncake can u make out of it? also is there any taste difference using tapioca starch rather then tang mien flour? I actually intend to use tapioca starch cos i can use it in my other cooking.By omiting santan powder will it affect the overall taste and lastly, is durian paste mean durian essence? sorry for troubling u with the questions. I would appreciate very much if u could answer my questions. thanks in advance. rdgs kitty
Hi Kitty
do not use tapioca flour to replace tang mien flour.
Durian paste is an essence.
You can omit santan powder. it won't affect the taste.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yochana
I'm a new fan of yours. Went straight out to get the stuff to try out this recipe. Thou only got them from Phoon Huat, I already love how the recipe turned out. Just 1 small little prob....how do you make the mold design standout more prominently? Mine was very vague after turning out the mooncakes. Or are there "better quality" molds to use? Also, how long can these snowskin mooncakes be stored? Tks for yr advice.
Hi Aunty Yochana,
I still don't understand what is durian paste :( is it like the packet of lotus paste that can be bought at phoon huat or sun lik?
Hi anonymous
Durian paste is a small bottle essence. Can get from sun lik at 33 seah street.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yochana,
thank you for sharing the recipe. i'm at my 1st attempt now. Do i use an electric mixer when mixing the ingredients? Please advise. Thank you very much. ivy
Hi ivy,
Just use your hands to mix will do.
do not use a mixer to do.

Dear Aunt Yochana,
Many thanks for your prompt advice. Looking forward to your announcements on classes you would be conducting. Thanks very much!

Hello!! Search the webpage for snowskin durian mooncake and walla!! Found yours!! Just to find out how to fry the duriang flesh, don't the flesh is going to be very soft and sticky to the frying pan? Do we use oil to fry? Thinking of making the mooncake this weekends.
Daffy
Hi dear Aunty Yochana,
I have a question:-
Do i need to cook the dough after "Mixing H.K. fried glutinous rice flour, icing sugar,crisco shortening together with cold water, essence and colouring"???
And many thanks to you and ur blog as i manage to get all the mooncake ingredients from Sun Lik yeaterday which i hv difficulties looking for at ntuc fairprice. It really save me lots of time.
Hi
After mixing all the ingredients together , do not cook them. The kuo fen is already cooked when u buy from sun lik.
rgds
Dear Aunty Yochana
Thank you very much for your recipe. I tried it and although the skin was bad but it's probably my skill. However, the filling turns out like the long tube durian 'cake' that is sold in supermarkets and tourist shops. I followed the recipe closely except that I substituted with vegetable oil and golden syrup. Please advise. Thank you.
