Tao Sar Piah - Moon Cake (Taiwan)

Today I tried to make Tao Sar Piah (Taiwan) using kaya paste and Mung bean paste. The method is very much similar to making Lotus seeds Moon cake except Lotus seeds paste ( Lin Yung) is used instead  mung bean paste. This seems to be a quite easy recipe and manage to get it right on the first attempt.
