today is the last day of the seventh month in spore...
& the beginning of SPRING in melbourne:)
i wonder how big the roast pig is this year.
my dad always orders twice annually ( the other time was during CNY, as in picture:) ), and it has become a family gathering like 2am in the morning just to indulge in roast pork after praying! apparently this time he ordered a HUGe one... haha... luckily we have a big extended family to spread the :pork: around.. LOL...
anyways, sighs, dont get to have mooncake this year :( last year my dad came over with boxes of durian, green tea, lotus etc!!! haha... we treated them like treasures, limited to no more than a small pieve a day.. lol.. lasted for months in the fridge.. haha... cos u dont get nice mooncakes here! or maybe i dont bother to try... :P
nvm, hopefully some kind soul will get their supply and offer me :) or somebody send a box over...!! QUICK!! haha... Lol...
emm... dont u think mooncakes are the only festive item u dont get the whole year round nowadays?? even pineapple tarts, dumplings, and other traditional festive goodies are sold like the whole year round... tht really diminishes the hype... mooncakes are special, they come out only during this time of the year, at least the GOOD ones.. :)
yet, some of the "5star" hotels have come up wit "weird" flavou
rs which i dont dare try... infused with "weird" liquers, or have u heard of "foie gras" mooncake?? yucks!!! just marketting to just charge u maybe $$88 for one piece, cos 8 is a lucky no. too.. lol...haha...
-- the simple ones are the BEST:) green tea and lotus still works for me of coz:) & all moncakes sld be snow skin, without yolk!! what's with the double yolk, or is there one with 4 yolks too??? haha. i guess everyone has diff. tastes..
ok, enough rambling...
apparently the singapore day event is such a big thing... thanks to janice's invitation, i think i signed up like months ago... haha... kiasu singaporean!! LOL...
ok, need sleep BADLY!!!
btw, HAPPY Birthday Jessica:) hope yr BF is out of army to spend time with u:)
