The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming (this year it falls on 10th Sept 2022) and hence it is time to wish Happy Mooncake Festival to all my readers and friends. I must admit I have been a little lazy to update post in here, preferring to post more in the Facebook page of this blog or in Instagram lately.

Still, to keep the posting tradition going for Mid-Autumn Festival (for the past two years, I have been highlighting a different style of mooncake for each year), this year I am sharing Shanghai style mooncakes.
The distinctive style of Shanghai mooncakes lies in the skin, which is made of shortcrust pastry (the crumbly rich type very similar to pineapple tart pastry) and brushed with egg glaze and baked. The mooncakes can be shaped like small circular balls, or comes in a longer sausage-roll like shape.
So wishing all a great Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoy your mooncakes and lanterns.
