This year mid-autumn festival was on 21st September. For the past years my opposite neighbour celebrated this special day with a big gathering of family members, relatives and friends. Due to the pandemic, there was no celebration and everything was very quiet.
Sunrise on the morning of mid-autumn festival at 7:23am.
Hibiscus by the roadside.
Afternoon sky at 1:40pm.
On the reverse side, Kledang Hill.
Feeling thirsty, we bought cold dessert for lunch.
Cream corn, evaporated milk and sugar syrup with ice shaving for hubby.
ABC ice or mixed ice (ice kacang) with palm sugar for me.
Our simple dinner.
Peanut + minced meat porridge.
Stir fried kangkong (green veg) with shrimp paste (no photo).
We were blessed with the above roast duck by our neighbour just as we started on our dinner so thanks to our neighbour, it was not a simple dinner after all.
Sunset at 7:20pm.

That night a friend shared his mid autumn moon photos with us.
Moon photos credited to BKC.
Full moon (mid-autumn festival)
According to Chinese calendar, it is on 15th day of the 8th lunar month.
Beautiful golden moon.
Linking to Wordless Wednesday & My Corner of the World.
He assigned the moon to mark the months
and the sun to mark the days.
He sends the night and darkness,
when all the forest folk come out.
Then the young lions roar for their food,
but they are dependent on the Lord.
(Psalm 104:19-21, The Living Bible-TLB)
Here, it is just the beginning of autumn. Your moon photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny.
DeleteMy girl and I love duck. There is a very nice roast duck stall near my house but I seldom go and buy as the mum does not eat duck. Will buy a bit once in a long while for just the two of us.
ReplyDeleteMy missus plants her own kangkong, grows very fast - harvested once, replanted the stalks...and then, harvested again, replanted the stalks again - I think we've gone three rounds already.
I also used the kangkong stalks to grow and they are now growing nicely.
DeleteSad what "Corinna" does to us.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunrise and... to find a Hibiscus by the roadside... wonderful!
Your food! So not known here!
Corn we have as Popcorn (salty is my version) or from the BBQ with butter! Hmmm.
Peanuts in a normal meal?! We are so boring over here.
Very cool moon pics!
Have a great day!
Thank you, Iris. I love popcorn too. Have a great day too.

DeleteYour abc looks so tasty. I think it is about one year that I didn't eat ABC. Did both of you share the two bowls of ice or just stick to your own bowl?
ReplyDeleteI took a spoonful of hubby's ice jagung. Hubby stick to his own.
DeleteRoasted Duck, I remember the place that Meilin & Al would take us to their special Chinese eatery. They always asked for the the duck and I always enjoyed the duck. Yum, yum.
