Mooncake festival
Once again, I think my family will get by this year, without consuming a single Mooncake. It's that time of the year again, where the Mid-Autumn festival is ongoing, and where my area momentarily becomes Orchard Rd (i.e the busiest shopping district in Singapore). What am I talking about?
Chinese Gardens is right opposite my home and the Mooncake festival is associated with that place. It would be spruced up, and huge lanterns will be set up around the place, and there'll be a long queue of cars outside my house, impatiently and chaotically making their way in to the Chinese gardens' lone stretch of road.
My family (my parents and bro) went down there on Tuesday night, which was the official day of the Mid-autumn. And my mum had bought a box of yellow round-shaped pastries with lotus paste inside, not even mooncakes, for my other bro's tuition teacher. Guess mooncakes will just be ever elusive, and seen but not purchased by anyone from my family... :P
Anyway, check out the pics my bro took of the Chinese Gardens: here
PS: The moon is gonna be full and round any moment now. Which reminds me, do not intentionally point at the moon! People says it's rude to do so, and i kinda remembered something happened to me when I did point at it, years ago...ah well, if you believe. :P Live and learn.
To find out the story behind this annual Chinese festival, go here: http://www.sinica.edu.tw/tit/festivals/0995_MidAutumn.html
AND finally, check out this gold-frosted mooncake baby! Chinese businessmen usually purchase them as gifts, not to be consumed.
