Festival: Happy Mooncake Festival (中秋节快乐)


Hello to all readers of alexleow-kimmy.com :



Thank you for your continous support towards my blog and as day goes by, there are more and more visitors who came in and read my blog. Appreciate that you guys and girls could spend some time in visiting my blog and here I would like to take this golden opportunity to wish all Chinese a Happy Mooncake Festival. Mooncake Festival can be considered a big festival for the Chinese as they will celebrate it mostly at their homes. Normally, they will organize BBQ, steamboat or open houses to invite all of their fellow members and friends to celebrate this festivals together. During the modern days as well, they will also celebrate at restaurants where one big family gather together to celebrate the mooncake festival.



Of course the main course for this festival or event is to have mooncakes on the table. There are various mooncakes now in the market including various choices to choose from such as Fruits, Lotus Seed Paste (蓮蓉), Sweet Bean Paste (豆沙), Five Kernel (五仁), Snow Skin (冰皮), Jelly and many more that I could not list down here because the lists is too long. Mooncakes will be served on the table on the mooncake festivals day to mark the celebration. Besides, they will be lots of food serve on the table as you can see children's lighting up candles and tanglung's in front of the housing compound as well as prayers being held to pray for the moon. Chinese believe's while praying the moon, you will get wealth and prosperity as well as safety for the whole family.


During Mooncake Festival this year, I will be staying in KL with Kimmy as Kimmy's mother had prepared some food for us to usher the mooncake festival today. I hope I will have a wonderful time tonight and to all of you who are enjoying the mooncake festival just like me, enjoy yourself and remember don't drink and drive.
