Blooming Green Tea

Sorry ar, been busy with outsourcing projects and doesn't have time to do the post and edits. Until today, it's FRIDAY! It means weekend is tomorrow and tomorrow I am gonna have a day off and FUN! **sitting down relaxing**

-----------------------------------------------------

Have you eaten mooncakes? If you do, you'll feel sweet with the paste. Now after having something sweet, doctor says we gotta drink tons of water. Or tea to filter away the 'heat' inside our body, to clean our immune system? LOL! Oh well, at least we can SHIT! haha!

Check this out, I've got this somewhere and guess what? This green tea is something unique, something you'll like to give away as souvenirs during chinese new year. I just like the process... It is called Blooming Flower throws Dragon Ball. 花龙吐珠. LOL!



Pure silk surface with a free glass and 3 tins of green tea


Here are the packets

Just a closer look on what heck type of creative green tea is this!


Here you go, throw into a glass filled with water

It sunk!

Then when the leaf (harden) became soft, it opened wide and here comes the flower nect.

Or what we call this as floating flower? lol

Just like sea weed + lotus flower (this is a concept of buddha siblings I think)


Floating babe flowers. kekeke!


What an artistical drink! LOL! I think you can get this in China, Fuchow (on the package).
Price around RMB$200. Or you can get it cheaper? I still remember last time where I went Yun Nan, where the tour brought us to the tea exhibition. How impressive that chinese could produce numerous types of drinking tea, good for our health at a nominal price, or quite affordable lah! RMB$40++ and above

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!
