This year mid autumn has been a very eventful one for us....
It started with a few of us sisters gathering at my place to bake our very own mooncake last Sat. We had the traditional baked ones and mini snowskin.... yummy!!Last Sunday, we had a great gathering at Angie's place. The amount of food we had was to the MAX!! Dim Sum, yam cake, pamelo salad, chinese tea, mooncakes, chocolate banana cake (just for Diana), longan jelly... we were so FULL.... Here's all the mummies... & daddies trying to do YMCA!! i wonder why??? The children had so much FUN carrying and making their rounds ard the swimming pool with their lanterns!! Some of them had their 1st try at sprinkles!! Yesterday, Hun family gathered at Linda's place for a get together & the food theme was "traditional Chinese" We had Hainanese chicken rice & rice ball (cooked by me), Shanghainese sliced fish, cai xin with mushroom & even SUCKLING PIG which Lydia ordered just for this occasion & Nimrod had to roll up his sleeve to chop up the pig!! WOW.... See how the kids are enjoying this very traditional way of eating the chicken rice ball....After dinner, the kids again made their rounds with lanterns and sprinkles. It was nice cool night spent with my family.
Today, Chuang family came to our place for dinner... enough of chinese food... tonight with Western theme... garlic bread, beef stew, baked chicken chicken wings & salad. It was another evening of great time with family... Mid Autumn is certainly a time to be spent with friends and family.... Thank you for such a memorable week & God bless...
