I prefer to use the 'Rose' brand agar-agar powder as it is easily dissolved and take a shorter time to set.
Recipe

Egg yolk
190g water
40g sugar
1tsp agar-agar powder
1tbsp fresh milk/evaporated milk

3tbsp milo powder

Hi!
Your agar-agar mooncake looks very pretty! :)
Would like to try soon.
May I know where you get the egg jelly mould & the plastic agar-agar mould? How much does each cost? (if you don't mind)
BTW, may i know where you get all the salted egg yolks?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi cmh,
I bought those mould from Sun Lik, 33, Seah Street. It just opposite Bras Brasah Complex and which is beside Raffles Hotel.
The Agag-agar mould cost $2.50, however I have forgotten the price for the ice-cube mould.
You can try Phoon Huat for salted egg yolks.
rgds,
Thank you very much for your info! :)

Hi Dennis-Cynthia,
You can get from mould from Sun Lik or Kitchen Capers. You can check their address from the internet. The mould is the same as those normal agar-agar mould, it very easy to remove jelly from the mould.
hihi, can i check with you, for the "egg yolk" you use the ice cube mould.
If i see correctly, each of the ice cube mould is half shape. So does it mean to make a mooncake jelly, you need two ice cube "egg yolk".
Pls advise.
Hi Sushi,
For the egg yolk ice cube mould, it come with a base and cover. Fill up the base with the agar-agar mixture, then put on the cover and chill till set.
Hi Happyflour,
I still don't quite get it. The base as I see from the photo above is half-sphere egg in shape.
How do you make it a sphere egg?
Thanks!
Hi Sushi,
I think you will understand what I meant after you see the mould. You can get it from Sun Lik.
Thanks for your time and info. Will make a trip down and find the mould. :)
Nice day ahead.
hi...its me again cynthia from indonesia. i went to sunlik last weekend and i was unable to get the egg yolk mould! next time you are there, do you mind cking for me..then maybe i can trouble my aunt to get it for me...i also called phoon huat, they dont have it either =(
btw there is this plastic cookie jar that iam in love with..they use it at fullerton hotel, jolly bean..do you know where i can get them?? thanks soo much for your help! i can email u the pics ..just email me at chambali@gmail.com
Hi Cynthia,
I'm not sure when Sun Lik will replenish the egg yolk mould. Why don't you try it out one month before the Mid Autumn Festival.
Sorry, I'm not sure what kind of cookies jar you are referring to. Why don't you check with the staff in Fullerton Hotel. I'm sure they will be kind to help you out.
Happy baking! :)

Hi Eeyore,
That is a small soon kueh mould, you can get it from sun lik. You can pour the filling into plastic cup instead or into a tray then use a ring pastry cutter (size must be smaller than the mooncake mould) to cut out the circle shape.
Hi, why d pastry seperate with d filling when I remove it from mould? I do scratch d filling with fork before pouring d pastry. Do u have any idea?
Hi Racheal,
Sorry for the late reply. Why don't you scratch the filling few more times or poke the filling with fork.
