Mid-Autumn (Mooncake) Festival





We've been enjoying lots of mooncakes. The traditional ones (pictured) are usually filled with white lotus and egg yolk. But we also like the non traditional ones called snowskin (it isn't baked).

After eating birthday cake the kids went downstairs and walked around with their lanterns (after the adults finally got them lit.) They soon lost interest and we hung them up on the playground. (Most Singaporeans I've talked to tell me they usually just burnt up the lanterns or played with candles!)

Once the sparklers came out they were very attentive. I think we went through 4 or 5 boxes!
