秋の月

Mid Autumn Festival was yesterday (3oct2009, Saturday). Well, our family isn't the type which will sit around the table drinking tea and eat mooncakes; nor go for lantern walk either. However we do eat mooncakes, every year, which i don't usually particularly enjoy (especially the lotus flavor), but I do enjoy collecting the pretty mooncake boxes. What makes me want to blog about this year's midautumn festival is the EXTREMELY pretty box and the variety of flavors, no more too much of the hyper sweet lotus!

First is the mooncake from Digi. This pretty box is in the form of two drawers. Mum wanted to use it to put her watches.. Four flavors: Lotus (just one) with 1 yolk, Black sesame with 1 yolk, Red bean and Espresso Chestnut.

This is from some random supplier from my dad's workplace. The box looks like red bamboo sheets, there's this nice button in front, can't see it due to the angle. Four flavors as well: Lotus with 1 yolk, Jade Custard, Durian (never try it before but u heard it's good), and Green Tea (MY LOVE!~)

Jelly mooncakes~ I remember last year I did post about jelly mooncakes as well. Still loving them, but this year's feel waterish, like when bite down water pours out (scary)..

That's all for this year's mooncakes, mum had more but because she took some day off these days, the mooncakes are eaten my her sub-ordinates. Anyway, have a nice mid autumn moon day!~
