On the night of Mooncake Festival, I brought out the mooncakes for dessert and prepared tea at the table.
Since Mooncake Festival happened two days after the Husband’s birthday, I put a little chocolate biscuit in between the mooncakes and put a candle in the middle.
When I called the Husband to the table, he was surprised to see the lighted candle. He was amused when I told him to make a wish and blow his candle, and that making another wish two days after his birthday is still valid. (Well to me, making a wish everyday is valid even if it isn’t your birthday! :))
We only finished one mooncake that night as we were full from dinner. We enjoyed the Pandan Delight, a flavour we love because it has salted egg in the middle.
The Toffee Coconut was eaten and very much savoured over the weekend. It is the Husband’s favourite as it is very-chocolatey.
How did you celebrate Mooncake Festival?

It’s been so long since I’ve been able to sit and read blogs, and I love coming back to yours because I always learn something about different cultures. Seriously, keep blogging 🙂

How come I didn’t think of this? 😀 We were given mooncakes actually. One from Xiamen pa. But I didn’t think of having a ceremony, though at the back of my mind, I wanted to research how to do it. Will do it next year! 🙂 You have a beautiful tea set!
