While back at home in Kajang, how can I not request for home cooked food? But alas, we were in a middle of shifting house (the DIY bit by bit kind of style), so environment not quite conducive for cooking. My sis made homemade char siew though.

| pork belly char siew so yums! |
She said the pork belly in its raw form costs RM15. Meaning, that plate of char siew would've cost like, maybe RM25 when cooked? Wah...

For 中秋节 (mid-autumn festival), we had steamboat (with specially requested item: steamed fish) and of course, mooncakes.

After dinner, we waited for quite a bit (because too full!) before starting on the mooncakes.
 |
| mooncakes, yam, ling kok and tea |

| this is called '菱角' or ling kok in cantonese or chinese water chestnut in plain English |
 |
| coconut flavoured mini-mooncake |
 |
| mango and matcha jelly 'mooncake' |
 |
| teochew mooncake |
 |
| traditional 金腿(nuts and ham) mooncake (mom's favourite) |
 |
| pandan flavoured lotus paste mooncake |
Ok, I think I had eaten one whole year's worth of mooncakes!
 |
| wash it all down, with copious cups of hot tea |
Hope your Mid-Autumn was equally fun!
