Happy Mooncake Festival

Hello there, greetings again. The chinese tradition are back with delights and wonder, The Mooncake Festival. Well, if you're interested on the background of the Mooncake Festival, maybe you'd like to come here!

Ekk! the same old mooncakes every year with the same fillings in it right? Apa boleh buat? But this year in Singapore, there's this Mooncake Fair @ takashimaya or elsewhere! LOL! It's crowded and chinese gathered here just to buy a pack or more mooncakes for their loved ones and families. Eating mooncake under the moonlight is preety awsome because the 'atmosphere' together with lanterns and gloomy fireworks. WOW! Splendid!!!!! But sowie, no photos taken for such a wonderful night. Just Imagine! XD

Average price of A MOONCAKE is $4-6 dollars! So why not have a try in a different way? I mean different when the taste and looks are different. Comeon, lets go...

Now what is this? This is no mooncake!
It's Prawn Noodle. YUCKS!
Singapore's food is rather not Kuching-like and I hope those Sarawakians working in Singapore had a really hard time on their food cuz' it's quite picky @ times!

What is this again?
Toothpicks?
Those people throw the toothpick on the floor after having free mooncake test @ Takashimaya shopping centre. God dammit! So dirty!

This bright post means MOON! 月亮
Too bright la!

One of the stall put this pigeon-like lantern.
Feels like Japanese pigeon house.

Of course, not forgetting the lanterns! Miss the old times!

Or bamboo! The green packet is the Japanese noodle. small-size dip with salty seasoning. Not bad la but a bit jelly jelly feelings! hahah!
=- PACKAGING IS IMPORTANT -=
Now proper packaging will attract people's attention. Instead, just a silly plastic wrapped onto the mooncake, you think people wanna buy your products? Majority mooncakes here are made from bakeries and hotels. hehe! Look below!
