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! =)
