ABC Ice Dessert, Roast Duck & Peanuts With Minced Meat Porridge

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.

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)

Gifts Of Homemade Mooncakes.

Some of my friends celebrated the mid-autumn festival aka the lantern festival yesterday (13th Sept). As usual, we were blessed with mooncakes given to us by friends and neighbours.

 We received this box of agar-agar mooncakes from our neighbour.

 For the past few years, we received these homemade agar-agar mooncakes from our neighbour.

 We cut a mooncake to try and it has red bean filling.

 A friend gave us the above 2 mooncakes. After cutting, I suddenly remembered that I haven't taken a photo of the mooncakes.

 Left: Snow skin mooncake with salted egg yolk (green instead of white skin)

Right: Mooncake with assorted nuts filling.

These dogs are regulars at the recreational park.

 This dog also walks and plays in the park with its friends.

Time to take a rest before resuming the walk.
