Being a Malaysian living in Malaysia, we really do not know much about the significant of all Chinese festival or cultures. Yes, we do know the story behind each festival, but really? The culture of celebrations are usually passed down from our forefathers who had travelled to this land decades ago.
We will be celebrating Mid Autumn Festival tomorrow. It's falls on the15th day of the 8th months of our lunar calendar. But really, in Malaysia, we do not have autumn nor spring, summer, winter. Same tropical weather all year round! What mid autumn? Hehehe...
Anyway, our definition of mid autumn will be these: Mooncakes, pameloes, lanterns, plenty of candles and of course the extra large round moon up in the night sky. Lols...
Decided to make our own Mooncakes this year since can't get one that agree with my taste buds! A little too sweet though, but what the heck!
Made two types, jelly ones with mango jelly filling & snow skin with lotus paste filling. Not very pretty but I think passable!
Wishing everyone near & far a blessed Mid Autumn Festival!

Wishing you and your family the same too (oops though I am late). Hope Baby G had fun playing with lanterns. I salute you for making your own moon cakes - takes a lot of effort I know.
Thanks Mun. Though a little late, the same to you & your love ones. :).
Was looking for the perfect texture & taste. Sick & tired of those sold outside.
