Happy mooncake festival

Happy Mooncake Festival!! This yr, we bought mooncakes from Prima Deli, shangrila, Baker's Inc and Da Zhong Guo. First time trying out mooncakes from Prima Deli. Tried the snowskin type. Not bad.

Mooncakes from PrimaDeli: Nice packaging too.

Mooncakes from Shangri la.

Our condo has a Family Day cum Mooncake Festival party yesterday. They setted up tentage, games stores, provided free food, mooncakes and lanterns. We even lighted up the lanterns and went for a walk ard the compound at night.

The few game stalls

Lanterns on the trees for decoration

The fish catching area. We were given 20s to catch as many fishes as u can with a mini net.

Haa..my dad with his prize catch. More than 30 fishes!

We then split the fishes into 2 glass containers so that they wont be over crowded.

Trishelle is very curious abt the fishes..

Each family is givena party pack, consisting of 1 lantern, mooncake and a pack of sweets.

Foods including laksa, satays and roti plata were also provided.

Then later in the evening, there are free flow of diff favours of mooncakes, peanuts and pomelo. See how much we took :P

While we were eating the satays, the fishes became over excited and started jumping out of the water!! One unlucky fellow landed into our satay sauce...dad then quicky brought it to fast. That fish then became very still when we put it back into the bowl...its still alive and "up right" thou.. but after awhile it died..hai...

Remainig very still

Now its overturned :(

But that the dead fishy, it was quite an happy event. This year round, Trishelle can enjoy the festival better, holding lanterns and "walking" ard, looking at lion dance and other performances. Think next yr we would be running after her alr..haa..
