Buy lantern for your kid during Mooncake Festival !!

Shia.. yes, Singapore do have a good lanterns fair but not in Malaysia. Here, during the CNY, it will have some of those fair in one of the temple, however I do not hear any of those for mid autumn festival Now being living in the city, I don't think my girl will be able to enjoy those time I had back in my hometown, however I will still bring her (when she gets older) to let her experience it. Thanks for the early wishes, and the same to you and your family too.

Hi Cwong, When I was young, I don't really enjoy this mooncake festival as I am the youngest in the family and my neighbourhood don't really have a small kids like my ages. So I played the lantern by myself and always boring. Today, I just have my early Mid-autumn celebration,Have a reunion dinner with my in-laws. Whole table are full of nice foods. When the Big Day comes, I will bring my son to the lantern fair at my place here. Hope this year lantern will be better than the last year one. Singapore always has Lantern Fair at the Chinese Garden. I really wish I can fly there to visit the lantern fair as the lanterns are really nice,some even with Disney Character. Last weekend, my mother-in-law just bought a Robot lantern for my son.It is battery operated ,comes with light and music.It is very beautiful. Wish you Happy Mid Autumn Festival in advance !!

Hi Iriene, I just know that Jusco is giving Free Lantern for kids, It must be a paper lantern,right?? I have snapped some pictures tonight and I have posted it at my Facebook and also my blog. Do feel free to have a peek at my blog. When I was young, I used to play the paper lantern,easily get burn and sometimes the candles keep Off because of the strong winds.During my childhood, there is no battery lantern yet. Kids now are very lucky, have so many varities for them to choose and play with. Happy Mooncake Festival to you and your family !!

Oh , for got to wish you happy Moon cake festival! It is a very important reunion festival for Chinese. Most of the family will gather together to have a reunion dinner. Though your family members are all in Indonesia, but don't worry you are not alone! You will have a special day with your hub and your son!

Hi Vingyan, Oh..playing with candles is very dangerous.Make sure you always at their sides while they are playing. I am yet to try on paper lantern to Ryan. As paper lantern is using candle,I am worry whether it will get burn easily and bit dangerous. Try to introduce battery lantern to your kids,probably they will enjoy it alot.Hope so !!They are so many models available now in supermarket. I overheard that my mother in law plans to have an early celebration for this year. Or else I have to cook myself on that Big Day as my mother in law will be on her confinement job soon. Happy Mooncake Festival to you and your family !!

Hi a_motherstouch, I never heard of the Saint Martin's Day festival before. Is it only celebrate at germany? Thanks for informing me about this festival. Another new festival for me to know and I would like to know more about this festival? When is the festival? Mooncake festival is celebrating by Chinese People only,kids are playing around with lanterns while adults are enjoying eating their mooncakes. There are many varities of mooncake in Malaysia,from normal bakery shops to the high level restaurant standard and they are plenty of flavours. I like to eat Jelly Mooncake and Phing Phi mooncake,they are served in cool.My mother-in-law will make these two types of mooncakes before MOoncake festival. And on the big day itself, we will have a reunion dinner. When I was in Singapore, I always went to the Lantern Fair at the Chinese Garden. They displayed so many design of lanterns,with lights and music.The disney character lanterns are very nice.

Hi Motherstouch, Mooncakes is make from flour,sugar,egg and some butters, and will have some filling(bean paste with diffrent kind of flavours inside the dough). They are many different kinds of mooncakes available in the market. When I was small,only traditional mooncake is served all the time,but as time pastby,new type of mooncake is invented .They even have jelly mooncakes and Phing Phi mooncake in the market. My mother-in-law is making some phing phi mooncake tonight with pandan paste. I can eat 1 piece of mooncake at one go.I am mooncake lover. My son also started to eat mooncake nd he loves it too. But I don't let him eat too much,as it is bit sweet for kid. From your explanation, it seem Saint Martin's Day is pretty fun and interesting festival in germany. Do you travel back to Germany every year?? In my whole life, I never celebrate Halloween Day. It is very scary for me as we need to dress up in a scary ways.I am worried that I will have a nightmare at night. Happy Mylotting!!

Hello Shia, The mooncakes really sound delicious. What are they made of? The St. Martin's day is celebrated in September I believe, It's been a long time for me..I have lived in the US for over 30 years. Since I left Germany They have adopted the American Halloween celebration. I was amazed to hear this when my Sister who lives in Germany told me about this. As far as I know St. Martin's day is a German festival only. Have a great Day :)
