Moon cake

I know, moon cake festival had come and gone. And since I've only had my moon cake late, I can still post it up here!

This is the moon cake I ask Eric to buy for me, all the way from the city bakery store. I liked it because it used to have winter melon seeds in the paste. But they did not add it this year!! >_<

I was sooooooo disappointed. 

Where's the gua zi? =(

Despite that, the moon cake is still yummy. A lot less sweet than the one MIL received as a gift from a friend. 

I think I will still continue to buy from this shop as they makes it fresh from the shop every year from Australian ingredients. Compared to the 'big brands' and commercial ones from overseas, I think these will be much fresher without the preservatives. 

But please add the gua zi next time!

新年快乐！

Happy Chinese New Year!

The days still goes on as per normal. The construction guys came nice n early to dig and pull things apart and lay back the pavers.

Reunion dinner yesterday was a stressful one, because of my in-laws in ability to organise things earlier (despite me reminding them to write me a list of dishes to cook a week, 2 days and the morning ago) and last min food request by the 'emperor'. To make things worse, they only came back at 6.45pm....expecting me to cook whatever last min things they bought. 

The food was simple. A fish dish was there. A roast pork was present. Vege dish to add some greens, and the special request noodle. Oh, and we had left over soup and egg plant dish from the previous night. 

Finish off with dessert soup which I had prepared earlier in the afternoon when I rushed back from work. 

Think we'll push for the reunion dinner to be eaten outside home next year.
