Oops so sorry eileen,

I forgot to mention that SAn Cha is Hawflakes. You can get anywhere and they are very cheap. As a child, I used to buy this snack.

Hi Aunty Yochana

Thanks for the recipe. I would like to know whether is this chewy like ping pei mooncake's skin or are they crispy and crumbly. i remember having something like these during mooncake festival when i was a child but not too sure whether are these the ones. i've been looking everywhere for something like these in Aust but being chinese illiterate is an issue.
