Gold Fish Crystal Mooncake..~ 金鱼水晶月饼...^0^

A fb friend (KYC) is using a very nice and cute jelly mould to make her crystal mooncake. When I saw that jelly mould I love it very much. Soooo...I start searching for them. Guess what??? I found them in a shop, left 3 pieces and in quite bad condition. I pick the two best ones and get home. Can't wait to give it a try. When I wash them I found that one of the piece of mould it leaking... :( I bring it back to the shop and hope the other one is good but it is not good. No choice I pick the other pattern for a change. Still very excited because the least I still get one. I tried it...this is the result...ta..tat...tata...

~This is the jelly mould I am using, I divide into 4 parts to assemble the mooncake skin; that is the fish eyes, fish body, weed grass and the outer skin~

To assemble the mooncake:
1) Take 2 tbsp of skin jelly mixture and add in a drop of black colour.(I used a chopstick to dip in the black colouring and then dip into the prepared 2 tbsp jelly mixture) Use a teaspoon to pour the black jelly mixture into the eye part of the gold fish mould, allow to set a while.
2) Take 10 tbsp of the mixture and add a drop of bright red colouring. Use a tablespoon to pour this mixture to the body part of the gold fish mould, allow to set.
3) Take 6 tbsp of the mixture and add a drop of green colouring. Use a teaspoon to pour this mixture to the weed grass part of the gold fish mould, allow to set.
4) Pour the plain jelly mixture into the jelly mould, about 1/2cm thick, allow it to half set.
5) Put in the filling, and cover with plain jelly mixture till fill up. Allow to set before unmould and serve.

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT!
