Lotus Paste Red Bean Longan Red Dates Jelly Mooncake 红豆桂圆红枣菜燕月饼

A few days back I tried one batch agar-agar mooncake with mangoes and the result is really satisfying. And later yesterday, I tried another batch with my homemade red bean longan red date paste. Gosh, it turns out as wonderful too. The outer layer of red bean is smooth and delicious and the lotus paste filling is a double bonus too.

And here's what I did.
