One of the most popular lunar festivals is around the corner! It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration!

Moon Cake Festival is always a great time to spread your love by sending moon cakes to family, friends, and business associates.

Received another elegant moon cakes gift on 2013 from my associate business partner, with a nice packaging of moon cakes from Goodwood Park Hotel. I would say that it is an elegant indulgence with just the right touch for the oriental occasion.

The Goodwood Park Hotel’s repertoire of fruity snowskin moon cakes tastes great! I personally prefer the green one shown in the photos above, with the natural taste of Guava. The aromatic scent of the guava itself makes you never stop biting on it. It is a new flavour of the year, which is the pink guava with passionfruit and rambutan skin. The one with the yellow colour, which is the Mango with Pamelo tastes good as well. The snowskin moon cakes taste is superbly delicious. It is definitely worth for self-indulgence or as a gift.

Compare to some others snowskin moon cakes, the taste is not too sweet and it just suits well for health-conscious folk.

For this year, its packaging comes with a classy and elegant beige-gold with chrysanthemum motifs on the box.

Moon cake Festival celebration is around the corner and here are the premium gift set of moon cake from my business partner to commemorate with the 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival. The gift is really elegant, where the moon cake is encased in an exquisite and distinctive box.

The actual date for the celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival by the Chinese tradition is fall on the 15^th of August of the lunar calendar every year. For country like China, it is often a grand festival celebration, where people in mainland of China usually enjoy one day off from their work for the celebration with family and friends. Ancient Chinese culture believes that eating moon cakes could express their love for their family and their hope for a happy life. The roundness of the moon on the day symbolizes family unity and harmony.

Most of the traditional moon cakes are usually embossed with Chinese for “togetherness” or “harmony”, on top of the surface of the moon cakes. There are various types of fillings in the moon cakes, but the traditional moon cakes usually consists of salted egg yolks at the centre, which symbolize the full moon.

Mid-Autumn Festival is also better known as Moon Festival because as at that day of the year, the moon is at its roundest and brightest. Besides, it is known as moon cake festival, as every family will gather on that day itself to have a family reunion dinner celebration and at the same time enjoy eating the moon cakes. The cake is as round as the moon. Hence, it is called moon cake.

Have you started placing your order for moon cakes? There are so many moon cakes being paraded out there in the market.

I was puzzling around until I saw from an advertisement and just got to know that actually this year Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 19^th of September 2013, which is on Thursday!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

What is in your mind when you first look at the photo? Have it come to your mind in the first glance? Don’t it seems very familiar when you stare longer? Yes!! It looks similar to the most addictive and something which you often seen people showing on their mobile device, Candy Crush!

When I first saw this, the first thing that glance to my mind is Candy Crush game, but I would rather give it a different name, “Tanglung Crush” a.k.a Lantern Crush. It is a creative decoration of lantern for the celebration of lantern festival. I would say that it is something fresh and new to have in this coming festival celebration.

The Chinese Mid-Autumn is getting nearby and you may see many people started to prepare for the festival celebration. There are lanterns decorations hanging around the corridors.

It’s a new twist and fresh decoration of the latest trend, yet still never forgot the traditional cultural celebration. A more modern ways of using colorful light bulbs as a replacement of traditional candle lighting, but the shape of the physical lantern itself still maintain as its similarity.

Have you start your preparation for Lantern Festival? Happy Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival!
