Butler,

ya..the mui choy is the sweet one. Soak for awhile and then wash it clean before cutting.

Hi Lucy,

Just want to know whether you use oil to pan fry the mui choy or dry fry?

Thanks.

Hi aunty,
Yesterday i managed to make this mooncake becoz my hubby was longing for it. My mom says it's delicious better than the traditional one as it's not sweet.
