14 September 2008 - Mid Autmn Festival (MoonCake Festival)

We, chinese celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival on the chinese calendar of 15 August. Somehow, this year it drops on the 14 September of our calendar. A little bit upset of this year, firstly because this year everyone have to eat expensive moon cake and secondly, I was not HOME!!!!!!!!!!!

As we know and see, nowadays there are many types of moon cake then what our great grandfather have. So, we can now enjoy more varieties of moon cake then they do. How lucky we are don't you think. Below is some pictures of moon cake.





Lantern is of course something that couldn't miss out during the Mid Autumn Festival. This is the fun part when we see children taking their lantern around and have fun with it. But somehow nowadays lantern are more and more impressive. Using batteries instead of candles, made of plastic instead of paper that can get burn by fire. Some of it even with music but BUT i still prefer the tradition lantern that light up with candle like the one below. It makes me feel like really celebrating Mid Autumn and have a feeling of missing home if I was not at home!!

So, today this day I am here at KL celebrating it with my cousin and sister instead of family. Early in the morning me and sis had when to market and bought some fresh vegetables for night meal.

First of all, is a chicken. How can miss out a dish of meat for this special day. With the help of mummy, I mean consultation I decide to make a steamed chicken. This is my first time preparing!!




The outcome is actually not bad but it can be improve again and somehow the taste is not bad!! hehe..satisfied with it and gona do it better the next time!!! I chop the whole chicken myself and also my first time experience. Somehow I worried that I would chop off my finger but luckily still on my hand!! If not I wont be typing my blog now!!! HAHAHAHAHA You have a dish of meat how can you miss out a plate of vege. This is what we gona cook and have tonight!! Mixed vegetables!!!
Looks Like 5 Happiness!!!!

Last but not least of bowl of soup is definitely a NEED in a meal. Not the main course but an important one every time you have a meal.

WAN BAK SOUP



You read my title carefully didn't you?? So how can we miss out the main character of the day!!
I bought it last minute at the market and that is the only stall who sells it!! So cute got cartoon one some more!!!!
This is the only moon cake I eat for this year, so pity!!

Last of all, wish everyone Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!!
Don't forget to pay a visit to the moon later, and with a piece of moon cake and a cup of tea. It is definitely a type of leisure and who knows you may see "ChangEr" and rabbit on it!!!!

Angels & Demons

This is another great production after DaVinci Code. This is greater, excited and more knowledgeable movie. This movie is more to Christian history and all the ceremony and nevertheless famous place that Christian treat as honourable. I have nothing much to comment on this movie as I think from the beginning till the end the story was quite good. The flow is indeed smooth and connected. I did enjoy the time Tom Hanks search for clue to find the candidate popes where they were hide and the place they will get killed. There is so much excitement in it. My feeling was just like a roller coaster going ups and downs without knowing what would it be the next moment. I could only give two thumbs up for it. Don't believe what I said? Watch it yourself and you will know what I meant.

Photography

Recently, I am up to more nature photography. Those who know me well knows that I am always girl with my babe (camera) around. Non stop taking food places and something which is akward and new to my eyes. Nowadays I find out that the view out from my balcony and window is so tentative and fascinating that I did not realise before. Here are some shot that I had taken and I hope for some comment for my improvement in future! SUNSET FROM WINDOW VIEW For this picture, I take in two ways. a wish for brighter sky but somehow when I get the color of sky I want the light out from the blue cloud could not be seen clearly. Only when I set it to darker mode then the light out of the cloud could be emphasize out. LIGHT, SIGN OF BETTER DAY

YOU TIAO & JOHN KING TART

YOU TIAO is what we called in Chinese and ' YAO ZA GUAI ' is what Cantonese named it and this food is said to be origin from Cantonese people. This is one of the high demand food in Pavilion. It is simple, non-oily and reasonable in price. Their freshly made Tau Foo Far taste great and it is so smooth and doesn't have much of the bean taste which make people hardly love to eat them..... You Tiao - It is so crispy to eat just like that or you wanted to eat with their plain porridge would also be great because the combination of both makes perfect!!! Porridge - Their porridge is not so hardened or over watery. I guess that's the perfect way to describe. It is just alright and you can hardly see the rice but instead it is little sticky which a porridge should have.... After having that, my friend continuing exploring other food in the section. We go for the tart that had been very popular and keep mentioning by those who had ever had them. The legendary tart, ...
