Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
It’s the 15th day of the 8th Chinese Lunar Month today, and is also better known as the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ancient Chinese celebrated this day by feasting on mooncakes, decorating their homes and streets with lots of lanterns and guessing complex Chinese riddles on the streets. The kids had fun parading around the streets with their little lanterns.
These days, we still eat the mooncakes and decorate our dwellings and certain streets such as those in Chinatown, with lanterns and other light ups that despict the Chinese legends surrounding the origins of the Mid-Autumn Festival. We also still organise lantern processions for the kids.
For me, I have long outgrown the lantern parade. Instead, the delicious mooncakes are the biggest attractions for me. I particularly enjoy the ’snowy-skin’ mooncakes with plain lotus seed paste fillings. I don’t like my mooncakes to have any egg yolk in them.
Here we have G3 My Little Pony Kimono posing with my box of savoury mooncakes. She suits the occasion well because of her lantern symbols. I had to watch her closely while taking the photos, in case she really couldn’t resist and took a bite of the tempting mooncakes!
