Chinese Pastry



Chinese pastry is the most under rated dessert of all time. I started off this morning with the red bean filling which turned out to be too doughy for the audience. Feeling somewhat inadequate, I attempted again this evening with lotus paste filling and a tried and tested recipe from a talented home baker blogger, Yochana. Thank you so much for your well guided recipe. Making a good pastry like this one is a real test of one's patience especially in  a home kitchen. What is facinating is that every pastry is different depending on the rolling technique to the thickness of the dough. After 4 hours of playing dough in the kitchen, I am happy with the end result. The pastry was light and fluffy and taste like a million dollars. I can safely say that my pastry making adventure has reached a new height today.
