Longan Red Date Snow Skin Mooncake @ 七星伴月桂圆红枣冰皮月饼

These are my dream mooncake. It was first introduced to me just two weeks ago when a girl friend brought over some mooncakes. And I noticed one of the baked mooncake written as Longan Red Dates mooncake, I am so wanna to find out how it is actually tasted. So, I quickly grab one and took a big bite. Gosh, it was soooo soooo delicious. I like the aroma and every bit of it. Since that day onwards, I kept that on mind and telling myself "I got to make that thing !". I did asked my girl friend whereabout she found that unique flavour but she told me that her sister bought that special fillings all the way from China. Phew.... Did she just mention China !!! Meaning I won't be able to find it here at this moment. What should I do ! What should I do ! But still...... I did it ! Instead of using the longan red dates filling, I made the longan red dates snow skin. Still I am dancing. yay....

I'm sure everyone is curious about the taste. It is actually quite mild compare to what I've eaten but this is more origin. And here's what I did.
