Yes, it took some time to prepare the filling and the pastry. I made the filling in one afternoon(I placed a lightly oiled wax paper on top of the filling once it is cooled) and the pastry on the following day. No problem at all.

My husband and I go to Chinese or Asian restaurants two or maybe three times each year. What annoys me is the lack of dessert options on the menus - only deep fried bananas with ice-cream. A cake would be nice for a change.Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02780136821286168879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-26248498242107135512008-02-09T04:26:00.000-04:002008-02-09T04:26:00.000-04:00ur peanut punch is so mouthwatering ..nice cake n nice picsSHANTI BHANUhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01969223324958908900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-39140975542164531692008-02-09T01:22:00.000-04:002008-02-09T01:22:00.000-04:00i am speechless lady!!!DEEPAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328098849531035050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-85031132842837797032008-02-08T20:51:00.000-04:002008-02-08T20:51:00.000-04:00wow Cynthia, mooncakes never thought of trying them yet :) the peanut shake looks delicious...Roopahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03715088868467234305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-89125116952332157492008-02-08T20:10:00.000-04:002008-02-08T20:10:00.000-04:00oh yum! It's also abit like "wife biscuits" although the filling for it consists of melon paste rather than black bean paste. Nevertheless, the pastry looked really flaky!
