::mooncakes::

 happy mid autumn festival.  here are snapshots of the moon cakes that you have made. 
 the traditional baked moon cakes that you baked like 3 weeks prior to the festival.

 the moon cake skin biscuits, a relive of childhood, only the shapes are different but the taste is certainly something you can recognize...
 you don't have any biscuit mould, neither you want to use your christmas cookie cutters, hence you resort to the same moon cake moulds you have, only filling it half full to create these biscuits...

 you had a celebration tonight, and you brought you batch of biscuits over to share
 the host using the same recipe creating these cute little piggies free hand. you admire the creativity in her and the fact that she still manage to make these cookies beside mending the two kids....
 snowskin moon cakes by another friend who actually made to sell during the season.. these are filled with yam, shredded coconut and green tea
another type of moon cake, the teocheow style with layer flaky skin courtesy from the professional friend

needless to say, you sample more than these.  your enjoyed your traditional mooncake making experience and more mooncakes that you savored a week before at ahaus where you had a feast under the apple trees with lanterns.

the longer you stay abroad, the more traditional you become. you never really care about the chinese festive in the past, but now these festives become sentimental to you.

have a blessed mid autumn festival if you are celebrating.
