Bai Bai on Mid Autumn Festival

Every years we serve assorted of foods offering for our ancestors.
For my paternal grand parent, we bai bai at home and Mum prepare (bought, actually) several simple chai / vegetarian dishes.
For my Maternal grandparents, we bai bai in my grand pa's old house (which is almost completely inhabited, only for families gathering on special occasions such as this one). I never dared to wander in this house alone, always make me goose bump and it's sad to remember that I spent most of my childhood here before my grandparents passed away but I'll save the story for another post.
Anyway, back to celebration:







Who can resist these?

I CAN'T, I love all kind of cakes and Moon cake is only available once a year.
This year, we got them mostly from Singapore:
* 5 boxes from Pine Court Restaurant (Mixed nuts with assorted hams,low sugar lotus paste with macadamia nut, Lotus paste with double yolk,Mini cakes with assorted flavor and Golden treasure with lotus pate and yolk)
* 2 from Eater Palace (pastry shell with whole yam and kacang ijo shell with lotus paste and single yolk)
* 1 from Kwong Cheong Thye(low Sugar Cappuccino cake)
Only 2 boxes form local town.
So, I've been drooling since before Mid Autumn Festival and my patience finally payed off.
These are some I remember to take the picture before I ate them, 1 box of mini moon cake of assorted flavors from Pine court has been successfully polished off hehehe.
Oh yes, I like the Pine Court's design which's 6 size case represents 8 blessing for Happiness, Harmony, Love, Success, Prosperity, Advancement, Abundance and Luck. Nice.......
