Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Happy Moon Cake festival everyone! Its time for the Chinese to gather as a whole family to have a sumptuous full reunion dinner for tonight. This does not mean we don't gather on usual days, but the fact happen in our new Y2k generation over here is that the retirement age is getting longer at age of 65 and that beget many working parent seldom cook for their children nowadays. What will be expected on this special day is the lighting from variety of lanterns eithor on river or land & fireworks. Moon cakes are actually quite oily and filling, so don't forget to appreciate the moon cake with Pu-er(my favourite Chinese tea) to get rid of the oiliness in your body.
This afternoon, I have a Cantonese high tea dim sum lunch at Pearl River @Suntec. Look at these photo i have taken. We have steamed chicken feet with black pepper sauce, steamed Dumpling with chili oil, deep fried wanton with sweet sour sauce, deep fried chives pancake, fluffy barbecued pork pastry, deep fried bean curd skin roll with prawn, century egg congee with shredded pork, poached live prawns, crispy noodles with seafood etc...hee...Do they sound "aliens" to you? Highly recommended to have dim sum meal if you are a tourist. :)
