Matcha/ Cocoa Spiral Mooncakes with Red bean/ Sesame Mochi Filling (Recipe)

I was on a mooncake-baking frenzy for the last couple of weeks. This particular kind of mooncake is my mom’s favorite pastry.

I decided to comeContinue reading “Super Soft Mochi 麻署 (Recipe)”

. . Apologies for any bad grammar and horrific language you might have seen in last night’s/ the (very) early morning post. Exhaustion and swollen feet took my linguistic capabilities away.

The threeContinue reading “Crunchy, Melting Peanut Cookies (with Vegan option)”
