Today, Sunday is your last chance to get your mooncake shopping done till next year. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn festival.
The street and roads around the 5-star hotel are rammed with cars and last minute shoppers trying to get the city’s most prized mooncakes. These are traditional, regular Cantonese mooncakes but of ‘elevated’ quality. And elevated price.
If I may be allowed a slight Sunday Aside.
A special friend’s lovely young daughter is a budding equestrian and chose not to go travelling during this 8-day public holiday, but to stay home to look after her horse friends. Then, in anticipation of Mid-Autumn Festival (Mooncake day), October 6th this year, decided it would be a good idea to make mooncakes for her best friends. The horses!
With a little help from her 妈妈 (mā ma), she did just that.
Filled with horse friendly ingredients.
