A lovely neighbour (whose son happened to be Jay's kindergarden and now classmates in school) gave us these 2 beautiful jelly mooncakes last week.
My neighbour's daughter made them herself after learnt from an aunt the day before.
It was so nice of her to gave us the jelly mooncakes to try. Thank you very much.
Green and red jelly mooncakes. The green one is pandan flavour while the red one is red velvet. Not too sweet and it was nice to be eaten while they were chilled.
Last night I brought the kids over to a friend's house so they can play and light some lanterns with my friend's kids.
Kids + lanterns = fiery fun!
Tonight? Not much of a celebration. Kids have taekwondo class so don't think we would be playing any lanterns tonight. And not sure what time hubby reaches home from the long drive from Sri Aman this evening.
Happy Mid-Autumn, everyone.
I bought myself a mooncake yesterday to cheer myself up hah..hah.. Have a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival with your family!
ReplyDeleteCan you get different flavored jelly mooncakes in Kuching?
ReplyDeleteI didn't bother looking for mooncakes in Chinatown, London. They don't do good ones here. I have never bought the ones from HK.
A Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to your family and you.
Hi Corina, Happy Mid-Autumn to you and family.
DeleteWe do can find flavoured jelly mooncakes here but I am super lazy to hunt and buy any mooncakes this year. Luckily I got to taste some last night in my friend's house otherwise no mooncakes for me. And they tend to be so expensive.
I put up some lanterns at my gate one year when my girl was small and some kids in the neighbourhood came and stole them took them all away, so pissed off.
ReplyDeleteI will only eat those traditional ones in your last pic, no snowskin, no jelly...and I like the Foochow mooncake festival cookies too, getting more expensive each year.
Hubby home for the festival? Public holiday tomorrow. Happy Mooncake Festival, all.
So nice of your neighbour to bless you with the jelly moon cakes. They look nice.
ReplyDeleteMy kids live the jelly mooncakes too! Can eat more of these than the normal ones...
ReplyDeleteHave not tried Jelly Mooncakes before, hope one day I have chance to try them
ReplyDeleteHappy belated mid autumn festival to you and your family! The jelly mooncakes look good. What a nice celebration you all had!
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Mid Autumn Festival to you and your family...
ReplyDeleteLooks real yummy, dear! I wanna have some too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again - you're an amazing mom, Rose! You give your kids life experiences that when they look back, they will remember it fondly and with love. :)
