Apart from sampling the moon cakes, Chef Wu Chee Keong demonstrated the steps in making a snow skin moon cake.


First, flatten the ball of dough into a patty.




Next, slowly wrap the ball filling up.




Gently mold the edges to enclose the filling and seal it up.


Dust a thin layer of flour into the mould and press the filled dough firmly into the mould to get the shape of the moon cake.


Then, tap lightly on the left and right to dislodge it.


Tada! It might looked deceptively simple but believe me, a lot of effort goes into a single perfect moon cake.
