"It's a long story but I can tell you moon cakes are shaped round or rectangular pastries to repersent the full moon. They have inside a thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste which I was amazed there was some in the kitchen to use to make this. Anyway it is surrounded by a relatively thin crust and contain yolks from salted duck eggs which we don't hav I used chicken eggs which works fine as well. Most mooncakes consist of a thin tender skin enveloping a sweet and slightly oily filling. Also, mooncakes may contain one or more whole salted egg yolks in its center to symbolize the full moon. The saltiness of the yolk balances well with the sweet filling in the mooncake. Rarely, mooncakes are steamed or fried but luckly I know how to use a frier."

The girls were amazed Kat knew this stuff quite well.

"Still this is one of many I can make but if you want me whip up something different or amazing I can do that." she to told them.
