The next day, Sunday was the actual Mid Autumn Day where we had a 'makan-makan' session at mom's house. Mom had a prayer session earlier on after which, she would cooked the family a dinner with dishes that filled up the dining table!!
guess, this would be the sight of the dining table of a typical chinese family during....any celebration!!
~~~ chicken, duck, roast pork, fish, mushroom chicken feet, veggies, prawns & soup ~~~
I also didn't forget to show-off my newly picked up skills.........
since my cookings are no way near mom's, i chose dessert as my offerings as i know my mom knows nuts about it.......hahaha
fruit jellies (added nectarine & strawberies cubes into konyaku jellies)
I also did the mango swiss roll in the afternoon at home & brought a few pieces over to check out my market........hahaha,
dad knew that i'm looking for guinea pigs;
mom said she was 'full' seeing my cakes / "tai tou chau pau chor";
mag, 4th sis got conned by me believing that i bought it;
youngest sis kept reported that my jellies was such a hit .... nice & chewy!!
but overall the cake was a bit too stiff as usual, will try to make it more spongy next time around !!!
After enough of torturing the stomachs, we decided to have a lantern & candle playing session. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't a favourable one. The session only lasted for a short while before it began to drizzle! So, the family catched up with the TV instead..... while savouring my desserts !!!
.
The boys were given the permission to explore 'fire'....
A festival that was memorable......
