Hanya Dd, Mama & Lily like to eat mooncake. Selalunya..bila makan mesti leave the
delicious yolk last sekali and then savour makan pelan-pelan. Sebab itu bila hidang telur masin...putih tak makan tapie yg kuning or oren sudaa hilang (haha) Papa selalu tegur sebab kurang sopan sebab selalu ambik yg kuning sahaja.
Nowadays mooncakes varies in flavours in a raspberry cheese laa, tiramisu choc truffles laa and in patterns as well (mooncake with a starbucks logo) so canggih! ada yg style cam agar-agar pun ada with durian & pandan fillings. But I still prefers the traditional ones the one that filled with lotus seed paste & salty yolk in the middle. Dulu..it was hard to get the halal ones soo..our mooncakes baked by Aunty Mimi aka YeePoh Rita. She was an excellent baker! There's always something going on in the kitchen when she's around bila dia tak busy dengan kerja...delicious homemade foodie like kaya jem, cakes, roasted chicken, popias, vegetarian dish, etc..of course halal!
Masa saya kecik2 dulu we always looked forward for Mid Autumn Festival because this was the only time I could play lanterns till midnight or till the candles was out with my cousin Karen & my younger sister Lijot aka Achu at our great grandma's house or affectionately known as 'Popo' in KepongBaru. Masa tuu we would lit the lanterns with candles of course with adults supervision. Nowadays it came with battery operated and some annoying 'barbie doll' music. Wah! so advanced itupun Adly & Dd keep on asking whether is this the only way we play the lantern and that was it? hehe these two boys ingat ini some kind of robotronics lantern ker haper? kelakar betul..
