Mooncake Shopping

Every year Takashimaya would have mooncake shopping fair in their B2 open space.
Its a good chance to sample various kind of mooncake at one go since all the major hotels, bakeries & restaurants would participate in the fair.

This year I went to the fair thrice; the first was last Monday 28 Sept to shortlist the flavours.

On Fri, we bought from Kia Hiang the mini snowskin mooncake (9 pcs in a box) which cost $36 after 10% discount, the first box consists of pure durian and the second consists of 4 choco, 2 blueberry cheese, 2 green tea and 1 durian; also bought from Golden Peoney a box of snowskin consists of 2 banana yogurt and 2 strawberry yogurt which cost $27 after 40% discount.

As my niece has requested for mango flavour, we've gone back to Taka on Saturday late morning to source for it as it was a sold out on the prevous day.
We bought from Goodwood Park 2 boxes of mangoes and champedek which cost $52 per box.
My mum loves yam so we also bought a box of yam with pumkin fried skin mooncake for her ($18 per box of 2 pcs)

Hopefully the taste is good.

Mooncake Festival Party

I'm going to organise a mooncake festival party at my house this coming Sat.

I've to get food to feed 10 paxs including RY and myself (it should consist of mum, 2nd sis, 4th sis and family and 5th sis & siew mun zai).
I inted to get finger food for the dinner -4 large pizza, 3 boxes of mooncake (yam, durian and a fusion flavour), chips, drinks etc.

Dinner should start at 7pm and then proceed to garden to play with lantern kids.

Why do I suddenly wanna organise a party?
My 2nd baby is supposed to be due on 9 Sept this month and Oct supposed to be her full moon celebration.
So I'd like to have a party to sort of "remember" the joy of my pregnancy wen I carried her and at the same time, try to instill some happy mood to cheer myself up.
