Happy mid-autumn's festival!

中秋节快乐!

Reminds me that another year had gone by.. It's one of my favourite Chinese festival.. Haha! Second to Chinese New Year~

It's a time where hotels and bakeries will bake tonnes of sweet and colourful moon cakes, baked and snow-skin ones.. Haha.. A time where people will buy moon cakes as gifts to others, a time for little kids to carry lanterns in the parks, a time to take pictures of pretty lantern decorations around town.. And of course the best part is to sit down together as a family, and savour the moon cakes together (even though it's loaded with lots of sugar and unwanted calories).. Haha!

A very happy and colourful festival =)

This year, we have received MBS moon cakes from mummy's boss.. Atas and comes in a very nice packaging.. In the shape of a Chinese lantern!

Like I'm doing an advert for them =p
Yums!

Mr Koh bought us snow skin moon cakes from home favourites.. Haha.. Yummy durian and cempedak snow skin moon cakes!

We also visited the lanterns display over at Gardens by the bay.. Good use of the empty space/grass patch to place lantern displays that light up beautifully at night.. They look pretty in the day too! =) Pretty refreshing from the usual venues like Chinese garden/floating platform.. Haha.. There are some snack stalls and dance/singing performances too, but we weren't really interested.. Do drop by if you have time!

Beautiful reflections!

Happy eating the moon cakes! =)

Lifang's birthday!

Met up with the girls to celebrate Lifang's birthday!

We had dinner at this very nice sushi place at Far East plaza.. A rare hidden gem with very yummy sushi!

It was pretty 'eventful' as the waitress spilled the whole steamboat dish while trying to place it on the table, thankfully we weren't scalded.. Think they were too busy already, and due to limited space to move about, it was pretty hard for the servers.. Nevertheless, they were very apologetic, and replaced with another new one..

The little blue box!

Happy birthday dearest Lifang! =)

High tea - PB style

PB - Paris Baguette

Actually they have been around Sunny Singapore for quite some time already, but the first time we ever tried it was back in Seoul earlier in Feb this year, where they originally came from..

Side-track: I miss Korea, can't believe 6 months just whizzed past like that =p

So we headed over to PB at Wisma 2 weeks back, and it was as usual, filled to the brim.. We were lucky enough to get seats without much waiting.. People were everywhere!

We settled down and ordered their seafood chowder, crab sandwich and freshly brewed cappuccino..

Our tea break!
V for victory!

I can't describe how exquisite each of their sandwich/salads/pastries/cakes/sugar, spice and everything nice are.. If our tummies could contain, I would have ordered one of each.. Haha!

Lovely cappuccino
We ordered cheesecake too!

They look too beautiful~ felt bad sinking my teeth into them.. Haha.. Not exaggerating!

Till then, I await the next visit to PB! =)
