Drooling... literally... over Mooncakes

"Fly me to the moon... and let me play among the stars..."

Once a year... we remember the beautiful but lonely moon goddess... Chang Er... in Guan Han Gong... the jade rabbit...

It's Mid Autumn night...

Unfortunately... the haze is blocking out the moon... making it blurry... Bummer...

But on another note... have you had your moon cakes???

My all time fave mooncakes are from Lavender...


No Mid Autumn is complete for me without these...


Golden Jade... pandan flavoured white lotus...


Golden Jade Gem... pandan flavoured white lotus with a green bean center and yolk... heavenly...


I luv luv luv these...  every year... I would specially buy them from J.B....

Yes... I know...

Lavender is available here but it just seems so much more yummier when it is bought from Malaysia...

While picking up Lavender... I was intrigued by this...

From Yong Sheng...


White Lotus Mocha... white lotus with a mocha flavoured center... chocolate flavoured skin...


It taste more like cake... than traditional mooncake... new found luv...

Another must have... From Raffles Hotel... Royal China...


White Lotus with double yolk... very very premium in taste...price... ouch... the paste is smooth and not coy... melts in your mouth...


Mooncakes are yummy... but the strange thing is... I never crave for them any other time... other than on Mid Autumn night...

"Fly me to the diet centre... and help me lose all these calories...."
