:scratchhead: Hmmm, dasalo, now you're getting me tempted.... Tempted to know what the extraordinary taste is like.

Do you know why you get that extraordinary taste? Because you used pure lotus seed. Those you bought outside has a mixture of potatoes!

Use only peanut oil and 100% lotus seed and cook your own golden syrup (for golden lotus paste). The lotus paste will taste \"YUMMY\", but there's a slight draw back. The paste is slightly coarser that those bought from stores unless you have a stone mill ie 石磨。 Can you picture the taste of the combination? *sniff, sniff - nice!

Pls be forewarned. You need to do the paste at least 2 days in advance. It needs to cool down and take shape. Also, it is really really hard work. The cooking time is like making the pineapple tarts filling. 1 Kg of Lotus seed doesn't probably yield 6-8 big mooncakes only...in my memory, if I'm not wrong.

Does anyone know where I can get a kitchenaid mixer at a discount? Thanks.

Have you tried Parisilk?

I bought a Borsch mixer at $199. Was retailing at $399. Not sure why there is a promotion at Courts. I used for a few times already, not too bad. Of course kitchen aid will have more horse power. Jtoh you may wish to consider.

That's a good deal peapot!

Was it a recent purchase?

What model is it? I recently bought a Borsch mixer too, but at 399. If the price really drops to 199 then really can cry!

But I love the mixer so far - can knead bread (which my previous mixer is unable to do).

[peapot]

Yes autumn and worldangel, I bought it last Saturday. Borsch don’t have many models for the mixer. Either you choose the stainless steel bowl or the plastic one. The one on offer is the plastic bowl model. The stainless steel bowl still selling at $399.
