Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival

Over the weekend the kids and I gathered at a relatives house to celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival.  The kids seldom get to meet up with their cousins and other relatives so it was a great chance for them to mingle and mix around.

We were invited for dinner but went a bit earlier so that the kids could enjoy themselves in the pool. My water babies can’t get enough of the water and happily jumped in when  we reached my aunt’s house.

The boys went out on their first lantern night walk after dinner. It was the fun carry a lantern each and having the place lit up by the candlelight.

It was also the first time that Tiger girl got to carry a lantern which was lit up by a candle. When she was younger we only allowed her to carry battery operated lanterns for safety.

It was a blessing that the air was good that Saturday as we had been affected ( and am still affected) by poor quality air which range from the very unhealthy to hazards at times ( PSI of 200-300++)

Both the adults and kids had lanterns  to carry and walk around.  I think the last time I went for a lantern parade was when I was in Primary school. That was certainly ages ago!!

September Bites

Waffle burger with fries

Waffle instead of  the normal burger bun. This is a new concept to me.  Monkey boy and I had dinner at Griddys at Westgate and we  both found the concept of having waffles for dinner  instead of just a dessert or breakfast . ( You do remember  I serve ice-cream with hello kitty waffles for breakfast during the school holidays )

I find it really refreshing to have waffle in so many dishes and I may just “copy” the idea and add bacon and egg to my hello kitty waffles the next time  I make waffles for the kids.

Can you guess what we are baking in the oven?

I’ve been seeing many new dishes being shared around on Facebook and decided to try this out.  Do you know what we were making for breakfast?

Cloud Toast

Cloud Toast

This is what we were making – Cloud Toast!! You just need to whip the egg white till it’s all light and fluffy, set it on a piece of toast and plop the eye yolk back in.

It taste pretty yummy and the kids were happy to take a bite when it came out of the oven.

Hong Kong Style French Toast

Hong Kong Style French Toast

This is one of my favourite breakfast items and a must have if we do travel to Hong Kong.  French Toast which is made with peanut butter toast covered with egg and pan fried.

What is your favourite breakfast item?
