The mooncakes came with a customised paper bag, which I gladly took from the saleslady who asked if I wanted "special packaging". If I had not taken the paper bag, I would have been given an NTUC-type plastic bag, so "unglam"!
This box of mooncakes that I bought cost me US$17. It is imported from Hong Kong, and the packaging is pretty exquisite, with the individual metallic boxes and colourful illustrations. The type I got is the double-yolk white lotus seed paste variety. Yummy! Haha, actually I have not even tasted the mooncakes yet, but they seriously look quite good, and too beautiful to eat! I will probably eat it with my fellow countrymen on Tuesday.
What's mooncake without tea? I also bought 2 boxes of tea, one box of Ang Moh tea and one box of Chinese tea. The tea will certainly be a great complement to the sweet snack that is the mooncakes.
More food. Here are some pictures of the mee soto I cooked and the fish curry my friend cooked some time back. For amateur cooks like us, the food sure was palatable!
Mee Soto, cooked by me. I substituted the yellow noodles with thin spaghetti, but the taste was still good! The only things absent were parsley and of course the chilli, but I guess this was good enough.
Fish curry and tofu, cooked by Poon. For someone who claims she does not cook at home in Singapore, she sure can cook well!
The weather had reverted to being warm again, but signs of the fall season are certainly visible. The leaves of a couple of the trees near my apartment have already started to turn red, some trees have actually started shedding leaves. Think they will be botak pretty soon. Will go out over the next week and snap some pictures to post here.
