My mum called us siblings to have dinner in her house
more or less a "gathering" or "reunion" not so much as
to celebrate the Mooncake day ....
no more prayers offered and also no lanterns
cos everyone has outgrown the age of playing candles as well..
So what did we have for dinner?
all theeessssssssseee.....
it has been some time since we have something like these dishes at home...

steamed kampung chicken.. A Must-Have dish!
fried "nam yue" chicken for the younger generation....
braised mushrooms and sea cucumber for the older generation...

unfortunately I didn't manage to get some Lettuce to go with this..
Sayang!!
our all time favourite dish!
steamed yam with 3 layers pork....
gosh..the yam was so "yammy!!"
Best!
last and not least... lotus soup ... so sweet!
Getting ready to "wallop"

Happy Mooncake Festival to you and your family.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
I love cilantro (Chinese parsley)! Love looking at it on top of your dishes. My dad used to grow it in our back yard and I would sell a bunch for 5 cents to my neighbors. Effortless way to make money when I was just 8 years old!
Happy Mooncake Festival to you & your family too! At first I thought you prepared all these. haha.... Well, it was your loving mom who did this! Mom is the best cook ever, right! :o) enjoy & have a great week ahead.
Blessings, Kristy
