Mooncakes Galore!

We played lanterns & practiced blowing out candles last week in class. Then we strung the paper lanterns onto wooden chopsticks & carried them around. 1 lighted one got burnt!
12 small ones for only $1.60 from Tekka Mall, massive toy shop on 5th floor.
We has mooncake tasting session in class. Not all the kids liked it, some spat it out, think too sweet for their palate.
Nice wooden box from SDS from Malaysia
Tradition teochew flaky kind. Don't really fancy it leh.
Grandma & I feasted & became each other's mooncake eating kakis! She really loved & enjoyed the mixed nuts one. Not many people know how to appreciate it. This one was too moist (nuah) for my liking, Bengawan's Solo's version has a drier texture.
Despite the fact that she gets gastric & cramps in her legs whenever she drinks chinese tea, b'coz she was enjoying herself so much (with my fine company no less), grandma just had to make pot of thick chinese tea to wash it all down & cleanse the palate.
We had mooncakes & tea drinking session after cell too....one too many liao.....*burp*
