清明節拜神后,父母在吃+談論著用來拜祭的壽包。
媽:這個壽包,很干,很硬。
爸:哎呀,觀音剛才都吃得下去了,我們人也一定能。
My traditional mum tried something unconventional -_-
It's Winter solstice today, according to Chinese calendar.
The Chinese (southern China's descendant, to be exact) would normally eat Tangyuan on this day.
So, my mum tried something different this year:
1)Pink colour Tangyuan was replaced by the purple colour one - made from dragon fruit (??!)(and it's not sweet at all)Palm reading Tangyuan making session
2) The soup - she used gula melaka. The colour is strange already (but gives me an idea to try Tangyuan in Coke next time :P) and yet not that sweet.
Her reason was "sweet ah, why wanna eat so sweet?"
But I'm not complaning, mum :)
冬至快樂!
Happy Deepavali to all the Hindu's friends!
I'll also take this chance to share a Beatles' song, The Inner Light.
Download will be available for one week.
You can tell The Beatles' musicianship is really diversified.
Just in case you don't know, this is the exact mooncake flavour that drives many people in Malaysia crazy!
This flavour (of mooncake) runs out of stock fast, people waited for the flavour & people even get disappointed for no stock.
And another FYI, this year, Baker's Cottage didn't hire Axian as ambassador, BUT, it seems it's more successful than ever!
It must be the advertising company that got their job well done.
But since there's no ambassador for this mooncake, I'll, for once, try to be one (in Axian style, but failed) :P
After all, we still need to remember the actual meaning of having mooncake festival.
It has gone way too commercialised nowadays.
