Moon Cake Festival!!!

For the past years, while I still staying in Ipoh, Malaysia, whenever come to mooncake festival, I will have to follow my mom to shopping centre to shop for moon cakes. She need to buy a lot of moon cakes every year, because she has to give to my father company's customers, my grandparents, all my uncles and aunties. Then on Moon Cake Festival day, we will eat mooncake together, play candles and lantern with brothers and sisters.

My Moon cake festival programs changed after I come to Singapore. I no longer buying moon cake outside, eventhough there selling moon cakes everywhere even at the neigbour bread shop. We bake moon cake at home. ^^ I recalled last year moon cake festival, I missed ShangHai mooncake in Malaysia so much, so my aunt asked me to search for the recipe online and she will bake it for me. And she really did it very well.

27th September 2009 Sunday, my uncle, auntie and I were together baking mooncake at home. The process is really fun, especially working together with my uncle, he always create a lot of funny things for us to laugh. below are some photos to share... ^^

3rd October 2009 Saturday, mooncake festival, went to date Eric BKT for shopping at Orchard Road. Actually we are not really shopping, but we are just keep on talking and talking, totally no direction with where to walk, I m talkative anyway. And we scan handsome guy together. LOL.

Around 5pm, we met James and Colin to go for dinner and movie at Cineleisure. They chose to watch Phobia2. T.T damn scary... But watching at Cineleisure better, because at least the whole cinema are full of people... LOL


4th October 2009 Sunday, we bake moon cake at home again, although moon cake festival already past, but these moon cakes are to bring back to Malaysia for our relative. And I bake something really special today, but I know this person might read this post, so better don't post the photos first. haha...

Sadly, the result of the moon cakes weren't as good as last week. But we find out what is our mistake, next year we will do it better.

I just found out, Malaysia need one to have a permit to shows that you are allow to accept food from oversea, then just people from oversea can send food to you. Isn't that sounds stupid? What for? Defense from pork product? Stupid la...
