Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

[PrinceCharming]

Best wishes to one and all here at the forum.

I will be celebrating the festival with my wife and some relatives who are coming over for the traditional mooncake feast.

Yes, we make our own mooncakes, having learn the culinary art from my brother-in-law who is a chef in Hong Kong.

We avoid those sold in shops (Tai Chong Kok) and hotels (Goodwood Park, Grand Hyatt, Man Fu Yuan, Marina Bay Sands) as they contain high levels of preservatives. Just think about it: how can mooncakes free of additives/preservatives have shelf lives of 1 month? 3 months?

Their filling have longer shelf-lives. Commercial operations get theirs in 5 gallon sized cans which may have been kept in storage for months before deliver. Anyways, good that you make you own. I think everybody should try to make their own if they wish to eat them. Or learn/attempt to make them for the knowledge.

Cheers!

HAPPY AUG15 MOON FESTIVAL

明月幾時有 把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕 今夕是何年
我欲乘風歸去 唯恐瓊樓玉宇 高處不勝寒
起舞弄清影 何似在人間

轉朱閣 低綺戶 照無眠
不應有恨 何事長向別時圓
人有悲歡離合 月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全 但願人長久 千里共嬋娟

轉朱閣 低綺戶 照無眠
不應有恨 何事長向別時圓 別時圓
人有悲歡離合 月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全 但願人長久 千里共嬋娟
