Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival

With just a few more days to the mooncake festival, here's some yummylicious mooncakes for u all to drool on.

Accompanying the celebration, there are some additional cultural or regional customs as well. Bet u all didnt know some of this, so here we go:

1. Eating mooncakes OUTSIDE and UNDER the moon [*if rain how ah???]

2. Putting pomelo rinds on one's head [*crazy..look like clown.]

3. Burning incense in reverence to deities [*haze ahh...]

4. Planting Mid-Autumn trees [*polluting and saving the environment at the same time..how brilliant...]

5. Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members [*to wipe mouth after eating mooncakes??]

6. Fire Dragon Dances [*Chinese New Year meh?]

7. Carrying brightly lit lanterns & lighting lanterns on towers [*can try la tis one...]

Oops...technically it is a lantern, & it's BRIGHTLY LIT.... *LOL
