Our Moon Cake Dinner
Last Tuesday was the Moon Cake festival of course.
As usual, we had a simple family dinner with everyone. Because each family have their own schedule, we seldom dine together despite having everyone living in the same house.
Of course, this meant a noisier than usual affair with Eu insisted on chatting with his cousin and Qi kept attracting her uncles’ attention. All these on top of our equally jovial matriarch, pleased at having all her sons sitting down together. Our’s a household where the female voices dominated the male voices easily.
Food wise, they’re the usual roast chicken, pork and mixed vegetables. Predictable but delicious nonetheless, and that’s what matters.
We did have some exciting experiment with these sliced abalone. As per the instruction, we served them fresh from the packet. Abalone was never my favorite type of Chinese food and this was no different as I thought it was too salty and too flavor-enhanced.
We forgot to get any lanterns for the kids this year though and must remember to get some next year.
Great!! I learn much a lot from your article. Thank you so much.
