Today is Mid Autumn Festival. We went dinner with daddy and few of my aunties yesterday. Ming’s parents went for wedding dinner tonight so i decided to cook. invited Ah Mun to come over since he got no where to go. since it’s been a long time i didn’t cook “mien fun kueh/mien fun cha gor”, or better known as “pan mee”, i decided to cook it for Ming for the first time. bought some vege, minced pork and meatballs. there were flour and mushrooms at home so we’re good to go.. i went out and was late back home so luckily Ming’s mother cooked the mushroom for me so i only had to cook the minced pork, boil the soup, fry the anchovies and make the dough for the mee. after 2 hours working in the kitchen, here’s the end product.
mee made scratch from flour by me! yums!
i bought mooncake from Starbucks for Ming’s mother last week. this year no budget so opt for Starbucks instead of Ritz Carlton like previous years. Heh. but i’ve always love Starbucks’ mooncake cos they have nice box. =P
i bought the small box so only limited to this 2 flavors. they have other flavors but it’s bigger box i think 4 or 6 in a box and including Tazo tea. as i mentioned, low budget this year, so as much as i wanted to try it, i didn’t get it. heh.
Starbucks mooncakes are not very sweet, which is good cos i used to hate eating mooncake when i was a kid cos they made it super sweet. apparently because last time (few decades ago) they don’t have fridge in every house, so in order to make the mooncake last longer, they use a lot of sugar.
i’ve always love Ritz Carlton’s mooncakes. especially their white lotus paste with single yolk and durian flavor mini mooncake. it’s the best!! gonna order it next year!
yesterday, Ming’s mother brought back something that was long forgotten… as a kid, i’ve always liked those..
it’s called 猪仔饼 (piglet biscuit). that’s what kids eat during Mid Autumn Festival cos kids don’t normally like mooncakes.
ok that’s besides the point…
we were testing my camera yesterday just to see what a normal compact camera can do.. and we went a lil bit overboard.. heh..
wanna know why those piglet is in the cage and why they kena 浸猪笼 (zam g long/ caged up throw in water. wtf)? here’s why..
once a upon a time, there are 2 pigs. one male, one female. they were both married but not to each other. they were having affair behind their partners.
one day, they kena caught by the village people… and they were forced to 浸猪笼.
sorry for the lame story. bare with me. heh.
HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL!
