A Cooling Gift for Mid-Autumn Festival

This Mid-Autumn Festival if you do not intend to get those traditional baked or snowskin mooncakes(read more HERE) perhaps a box or two of these Häagen-Dazs mooncakes will be a great treat for the whole family or friends. As you can see Häagen-Dazs have given traditional mooncakes a bold new twist with 4 different flavours  such as:-  Chocolate and Vanilla, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Coffee and Macadamia Nut. And each was created to look alike like the traditional mooncake with a "yellow" yolk in the middle using Mango Sorbet.

In addition to their Classic Gift Set(S$58+ for 4 pieces) or Petite Gift Set(S$32+ for 2 pieces), these mooncakes are also available as dine-in creations (range from S$18++ - S$20++), accompanied by exquisitely handcrafted fruits at all Häagen-Dazs outlets.

For your information Häagen-Dazs mooncake promotion starts from now to 12th September 2011. For more promotion details please refer to their website HERE.

Thank you Häagen-Dazs and WOM for the lovely mooncakes.

Time flies when you're busy so with another weekend approaching I would like to share a quick tea-cake recipe which you can bake for your family using common ingredients like lemon and plain yogurt. It has being quite sometime since I last baked butter cake(Chocolate Pumpkin Butter Cake) for tea-snack and I sure miss that buttery taste together with a cup of English Tea.
