Post 7: A tour on mooncake making

Hi! The mooncake festival is around the corner so I have decided to write a post on mooncake festival. Have you guys ever wondered how mooncakes are made?  I was in Faith Bakery to give you guys a tour on mooncakes manufacturing process. I hope you will like it. This will be a long post. So get ready.

The main ingredient of mooncakes is the lotus paste. Lotus seeds are washed, ground and cooked into paste with sugar and oil. Once the paste has cooled down, It will be weighted into the proper sizes. 30 grams for mini and 160g to 200g for normal size mooncake. They are different kinds of mooncakes in Faith Bakery. Some of the flavours are lotus paste, red bean, green bean, red date, bird nest and so on. The bird nest is unique and only available at Faith Bakery so do go and try it. 

                                                                              

The mooncake paste is then rolled into balls. In order to get the paste to become a mooncake shape and looks. It needs to be put into a mould and when squeezed out it will become like the picture below.

The mooncakes after being moulded.

The mooncakes are ready for baking

The mooncakes will look like this when done. Beautiful crafted for consumption

For your info, all of these mooncakes are made without any preservatives and handmade for the best quality. So the quantity produced is somehow limited and mass-production is not possible. Thanks for reading this and I will see you guys later on my next post

Post 5: THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!!! Clash Of Clans too

Hello again! Back to my life again shall we? First let's talk about the slogan, "THIS IS SPARTA!!" This sentence is one of the most horrible sentences I had ever seen. First, it made me tear my homework. You got that right, when I was about to submit it and was gonna tear it from the book and I said: " THIS IS SPATA!!" and the result is rather than the page was torn beautifully, it was torn to half. Not just that, This morning, when I was going to my seat after talking to friends and shouted :" THIS IS SPARTA!!" Guess what? I tripped over my own bag and fell like a boss. I dunno why this happened. Maybe it was just plain bad luck or this sentence was cursed by Sparta himself.

Our air conditioner can be used after all! The school said after you had paid the bills of the broken windows you can use it as usual. All thanks to our class monitor, Carlson. Next Saturday, my school is going to organize the mooncake festival. The seniors will be in charge in making the mooncakes wherelse the juniors will be making the lanterns. Carlson, Ivan, Ong, Chong and I will be in a group in making a lantern. I am not sure what crazy design they will make though, it won't look good I tell you. On that day we will be having movie class as well. I hope it won't be as boring as the last one. But what can you expect from a school? They won't give you action movies with no educational value. Heck some action movies even include bad words which has negative values.

I am a Clash Of Clans gamer, I am level 84 and I am in a clan named STRIKE CLUB. The leader is brodster but we call him brod. He is from Australia and he is level 115. My clan has just 20+ members so I hope some of you guys can join. The requirements are Lvl 70+. It might be a little high because this clan is for pros. I am a regular TH 9 player with a mission to reach champion. It might not be easy but I hope I can achieve it. Most of my friends also play the game and they are mostly pros as well.

Talking about the mooncake festival, if you want to buy mooncake, please buy from my aunt's bakery: Faith Bakery. The moonckes there are handmade and contain no perservative. I appreciate your support. It is located in Bandar Hot Spring, Jalan Air Panas, 91000 Tawau ( Opposite to On On Coffee Shop ). It is near to Unijaya and the building is orange in color. It is very easy to spot it as it is the only building orange building. Anyway thanks again for watching and I will see you guys later.
