Swiss-Garden International Traditional Mooncakes
We received a pleasant surprise recently when a dear acquaintance delivered a box of mooncakes for my mooncake crazy boys. We are really blessed to be surrounded by such generous and lovely people. We were at the playground opposite our house when we got these mooncakes so it was just nice to have a mooncake picnic. Conveniently packed with a knife and four little forks (in the box), these mooncakes are good to eat anytime, anywhere. […]

Drop by the lobby of any hotels and you’ll get to purchase your favourite mooncakes too but the scenario is totally different out of the Klang Valley. I was in Melaka recently and went to check out several hotels to buy mooncakes as we needed […]

The meaning of lantern to kids these days
When is Mid-Autumn Festival? I heard it is around the corner so we brought the kids lantern shopping today. They don’t sell traditional paper lantern anymore do they? The first lantern that Ayden chose is the type that has sound and wheels and can move on land but I told the Daddy to get them something more ‘traditional’ as in a lantern that will only light up without those annoying sound and movement.

I was really happy receiving all those goodies then. Today, I received a box of Gartien Pineapple Cakes from a friend in Penang. He remembered people […]

When will we be celebrating the Mid-Autumn festival this year?

A couple of evenings ago, Darling, Ethan and I dined at The […]
