Mooncakes

Every mooncake festival, the only think that made me excited is the candles and lanterns.

When we were young, we used to go down to the playground and light the place with candles. We will play until there is no more candle left and will extinguish the fire with sand. Nice lanterns is also a must and each time we will plead our parents to buy the nice lanterns for us to carry. As we grow older, we no longer carry lanterns and the playground are now no longer like what we used to have (those with sand). Somehow it seems less fun and looks quite cold. I remember digging my feet into the warm sand and jumping from the top of the slide to the cushion sand.

Can't remember anything about mooncakes cos i was never a fan. Don't really like lotus paste. But this year, i bought 2 brands of mooncakes. Went to the mooncake fair with Jacq and Janice and cannot help but soak in the atmosphere. There are so many to choose from and i try not to buy mooncakes with too much lotus paste.



Mooncakes from Marc & Leonard. The lady at the counter was very kind. Offering us all the flavours to try so that we can decide which one to buy. In the end, i bought the rum, peanut, custard and chanpagne flavour. Loved the rum and the champagne.

Mooncake from Marriot. Somehow the mooncake taste a bit different from the samples i had. The mooncakes that i bought is the chocolate and the strawberry yogurt. Actually the strawberry yogurt taste nothing like mooncake but i guess that is why i like it. A bit sour and taste like ice-cream.

I didn't get a chance to taste the mooncake that my sis bought from Tung Lok. Some greedy person in the family eat all i think within a week!!! Well next year i'm going to get some from home bakery. Had some samples and it is quite nice but i already bought sooo many.
