The Mooncake Day

Date : 04/10/2009 | Category : Celebration

I won’t say I’m particularly crazy about this moon-cake day. 1st of all, I’m not a big fan of moon-cakes, ( except for the snow skin ones). 2nd, up until now, i still don’t really know what is the true meaning of Mooncake day. If anyone out there that knows how this day originates, you are so very welcome to leave a comment, preferably a long one so that i can know from head to toe what this festive is about.

So, just like any other festive which i have no idea about, people say HURRAY! I also say HURRAY! People eat moon-cakes, i also eat moon-cakes. People say you need to have a some sort of a reunion dinner, i also tell my parents must go and have some sorta scrumptious meal on this day.

Lucky enough, my grandad and aunty is in town. So, this special day could easily end up with a scrumptious dinner!! Hehe…@ least that is what i was thinking.

Since grandad and aunt is in town, it’s pretty normal that i had to accompany them. They were putting up @ the Sheraton four points hotel in Kuching, and I’ve got a chance to view their hotel rooms!! Finally !! I don’t know what rooms they were being put in, but it certainly is a huge room!!

This is what i saw when i walked in….a living room babe!!! I love the white office chair. So Starck !

A small dining table!!! That’s pretty cool!! Behind it is actually a wash-room with only a basin and nothing else. I kinda don’t know if that space has been fully utilized ?  I didn’t take a picture of the bedroom, cos my grandad was resting @ that time, and then i forgot to take it again after dinner, WTF !

Did you see a full height mirror just next to the dining table ?? Somehow, must cam-whore a bit…..like this,

Oh, have to take a closer picture of my sandals…..

DSC04783

See the BIG FAKE DIAMONDS??? hehehee…….this is one of the best buys i got from SG !! I totally love it !! And everywhere i go, people keep asking me : “Eh, ur sandals so nice hor…where you got it from har ? ” hehehehe…..

Anyway, so i brought grandad & aunt out touring Kuching for a while, eventhough there’s nothing to look @, but i guess it’s always better than staying in the hotel.

And then how time flies ………………………. It’s soon dinner time!!!

We had our dinner @ the Sheraton four point as well!!! There’s actually private dining rooms behind their coffee house!!! So discreet! Anyway, it was a small little nice room…..

So what do we have ?

1st dish, Braised Shark-Fin soup…….

DSC04789

I know i shouldn’t have, but i did it again. Oops!! I did it again ! ( Britney’s song)

2nd, Empurau — It’s what people call here — The best fish available in Sarawak.

DSC04791

For me, i think so so only leh……..i don’t know which part is the best…….anyway….

3rd dish, Duck !!!

DSC04792

Mmmmpphhh….this dish is so yummy !!!!!Tender and juicy !!!!

4th dish we have…..Butter Prawns!!!

DSC04794

This used to be my favorite dish, but now it’s already my forbidden dish. You know why? 1st of all, it’s fried….and i can’t take fried food for some fucking reasons, which i will tell you guys later….and prawn according to my dad — is very poisonous…..so i can only let my favorite dish and food pass by this time. Urgggghhhhhh!!!

5th dish — cabbage with dry scallop,

DSC04795

I don’t know if the chef had mistaken salt with sugar? The gravy was so SWEEETTTT !!! How to eat ??? What a pity….

6th dish, as i’ve forgotten to take a picture of it….is the normal Chinese fry noodles….which again…is too SALTY!!! Errrkkk!

And then finally, the dessert time !!!!

DSC04799

Point to the ball of ice-cream and ask me what flavor is it ….come’ on …….

I’m sure you will be surprised and will look @ me with the most horrendous expression ever !!! Nope, it’s not DURIAN. It’s infact  — CEMPEDAK ice cream !!!!! Ewwwwwwww……..For those that don’t know what is a Cempedak, it’s actually a local fruit which is kinda close to the same species as Durian. Both of them has got this really distinct and dominant smell to it, and they are both super heaty fruits. Yeap meaning if you eat too much you will have nose bleed or some sort. Took a few bites on this CEMPEDAK ice cream and gave up. That’s because i really don’t like  Cempedak. But for those that would like to have a try, the ice cream is available @ their Wrapped cafe adjacent to their coffee house.

So after the scrumptious dinner…and me still burping the Cempedak smell…….Ewwwwwwww……sorry…i was just joking. We headed back to my grandad’s room for a little chit-chat. But to me, i somehow still have to cam-whore a bit lah…since it’s a different outfit that i wore to the afternoon one!! Hehehee

I’m basically wearing this season’s must haves…

DSC04803

A shoulder padded lace top. LADIES!!! Listen up, shoulder pads are a must have this SEASON!!!!!And top with revealing zipper line, like this,

DSC04813

It’s a MUST HAVE!!!! Go get yours today!!!

Oh and a studded mini jeans skirt.

So….that’s all i did on my Mooncake day………Last but not least ?? Take a look @ the Sheraton Four Points moon-cakes!!

DSC04774

I love the box !!! The graphic on it is just so inspiring !!!

And then when you open up the box….it’s even more amazing !!!

DSC04775

Wow!!!! I can totally see this as my jewelery storing boxes!!!! Hehehehe Even-though some people might not be paying much attention when sticking the stickers accurately on the metal boxes!

And then the moon-cake!

Anyway, so how did you guys celebrate your mooncake day ??? Leave me a message!!!!!
