Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

 

May the glow of the moon light your way to good health, happiness and prosperity!

PS. Enjoy your mooncakes!😋

Ice Cream Anyone?

 

I was having a few quiet moments enjoying a cup of tea at Haagen- Dazs yesterday morning when an elderly man walked in, bought an ice cream, went to look at the tubs of ice cream in the freezer and asked the young shop assistant: "Can you tell me what are the flavours that I have never had in my life?"

To me , it sounded like quite a difficult question but undaunted, the young man reeled off a number of flavours (too fast for me to catch). The old man said "Hmph" and walked out. I guess he was not too impressed.  I silently congratulated the shop assistant for his quick response . I wouldn't have known what to answer.

Happy Tummy

 

Taste of Bites,

Sense of Life

Light in flavour and pairs delightfully with hot beverage.  

Perfect snack for a happy tummy all day long.

Saw this on the wrapper of a brand of digestive biscuits.  Thought it was quite catchy.

RAT xxx (Again)

 

Well, what do you know, I ran into my RAT friend again a couple of days ago.  I was driving home when he shot out of a junction and characteristic of that small creature, scurried away and was soon lost to sight.  If he had stopped and parked, I think I would also have stopped to say hello!  I hope I bump into him again!

Mooncakes Are Back!

 

Yay, the Mid-Autumn Festival is round the corner and I have just bought my first mooncakes for this year!  Three cute ones with red bean filling - yummy!  Moon biscuits are also a great favourite with me.  As kids, we used to like them in "piggy baskets".  According to my research, bakers used to bake a small piece of dough to test the temperature of their ovens and in the end, they formed these bits of dough into biscuits – in the shape of little pigs – so that they could sell off the extra dough left over when making mooncakes.  And that's how piggy biscuits were born!  Piggy biscuits are usually presented in a pair to symbolize prosperity and good luck. 

There's no need to wait for the festival to come - enjoy your mooncakes now!  😁
