Mid-autumn 06


yesterday it's the chinese mid-autumn festival. i remembered writing a post last year about mid-autumn. we had steamboat last year. the agenda hasn't changed, we had steamboat again last night. it was just nice as the weather was cooling again yesterday.

about a fortnight before the mid-autumn, aunt SY made us some mooncake. HOMEMADE!!! yum! see pic above. there're a few flavours - red bean paste with pine nut, red bean paste with yolk, lotus with yolk, lotus with pine nuts. Man, we were spoilt. i think her mooncake looked bought too, except it didn't come in those fancy boxes.

was told that to 'set' the mooncake after baking, it has to be laid bottoms up.
i flipped two over to take the pics of the patterns of the mould. Posted by Picasa
