Mooning over mooncakes

A MOONCAKE workshop and tasting session? It sounded too good to be true, especially after hearing that it would be hosted by the Lai Ching Yuen restaurant in the Grand Millennium Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

But it turned out to be a most delightful session indeed, with chef Thye Yoon Kong of the Grand Millennium Hotel personally guiding each and everyone of the guests on how to make a snowskin mooncake with passion fruit lotus paste.The ingredients used include charcoal powder, rice flour and mineral water.
