- Mooncake Workshop @ Phoon Huat -

Yesterday I attended a baking demo organised by Phoon Huat at their Sims Avenue branch. They have a baking demo as well as hands on baking workshop every day at 2 locations: Sims ave and Clementi. Those who are interested can check on their schedule at their website. Usually they will run the demo/workshop for a week so you can choose which day and timing that you prefer.

First time attending the baking demo, I was rather lost in the shop. By the way, the Phoon Huat here is big! You can find lots n lots of products! Other than the usual baking ingredients, they have a good range of Wilton decorating stuff since they also conduct the Wilton decorating class as well.

So, back to my baking demo class... I went to the cashier who directed me to another counter inside. Here I was asked for my name and asked to sign the paper for attendance and to note my voucher no. Oh, forgot to mention that the baking demo workshop costs $15 and they give you a $15 Phoon Huat voucher too! Of course usually you will probably spend more than that but better than nothing ;)

I was directed to a small coridor that leads to one of the kitchen at the end. I was early and I see some empty chairs upfront so I seated myself right in the middle. An auntie suddenly spoke to me that I cannot 'anyhow' sit, must sit according to my number. Then I realised all the red plastic chairs has numbers. I quickly apologised and go to my 'designated' seat which was actually written at the top corner of the recipe page (How would I know when nobody told me?) I was seated on 2nd row which wasn't too bad. However, the seatings were rather packed and as the seats were filled up.. I am stuck there.

The demo was pretty straight forward with chef Francis explaining the ingredients in both English and Mandarin. Then he started the demo. The class that I attended started at 2pm and ends at about 3.30pm. At the end of the class, everyone took a picture of the finished products and take a small slice each to try or take home.

Here are the photos of the mooncakes made yesterday.
