Mid Autumn Festival 2012

Mid Autumn Festival, also knows as Mooncake Festival.
As usual, mommy will make some snow skin mooncake. This year she tried to bake traditional mooncake but the result turned out not that good.

See the mooncake ready to go into oven, they looks so nice. But after baked, it turned out like this.
The skin is hard, like "ang kong nga piah"...haha....mommy called it a failure.

This year mommy baked much more compared to previous year. I think she made 4 batches.

Besides those close friends that always get the mooncake, this year mommy also distributed some to 姑婆. 

Photo with Ah Ming when he followed his mommy to come collect the mooncake. We went to playground and play for a while. So sorry that we can't invite them into the house as mommy said our house is very messy. Toys every where....underneath the table, behind the cabinet as 弟弟 never keep his toys after play...and we don't have sofa in our house :p

Not only toys, recently mommy bought a lot of baking accessories and tools. The kitchen is just full with the baking stuff....cake boxes, container, fondant tools, cookies cutter, mold...ingredients such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs....as mommy always keep some as spare so that she can bake at any time she wish. So, all the things just filled up the small living room and kitchen.

There was one weekend when we went to Gurney Plaza, we saw all these lantern.
I think the event is sponsored and organized by Yeo's as all the lanterns are made by Yeo's drinks box or Aluminium can.

On the exact date of Mooncake Festival, we were having dinner with mommy's friends at Straits Quay.
After the dinner, we went for a short walk with our lantern light up.
This year I have a bunny lantern and 弟弟 has a butterfly lantern.
