Mid Autumn Festival


Mid Autumn Festival list of events and dates are captured in the photo below. Click on it to enlarge.

By the way, have you ever heard of Da-Tong Mooncake Specialist? Yesterday was the very first time I heard of it.

This year's Mid Autumn Festival is rather special for us. For the very first time, Allan wanted to try a particular brand of mooncake.

We often buy mooncakes wherever that is most convenient to us. Or even better, we have them as gifts, thus do not even need to buy. *giggle*

All thanks to his Mommy's recommendation and direction. We got lost while finding the Da-Tong Mooncake Specialist shop in Chinatown yesterday! *laugh*

Nahhh....not really lost. Who can get lost in tiny Singapore anyway..... But based on the directions she gave, we could not find the infamous Da-Tong Mooncake Specialist.

We started our search at 6pm+ and by the time we finally found it after circling round the small streets in Chinatown, it was closed for the day. *faint*

Now we are considering if we should head down to Chinatown again just for that box of mooncake for this year's Mid Autumn Festival. The moment we think of the charges for the ERP and the parking, our motivation level dropped.

Anyway, have any of you tried this brand before? If yes, what's your comments?

When we were there I also took the opportunity to take a short video of the decorations for this year's Mid Autumn Festival. Below is the day time view.



Night view is nicer....To watch the night time view, go over to my parenting blog, blog post titled - Mid Autumn Festival.

I didn't even know they had a branch at Geylang! You must be a diehard fan man! *wink*

My MIL just told me the one at Chinatown and worst, she didn't even tell me the street name! She just told me to turn left, turn right... blah blah blah... that's why we got lost!
