Last Thursday (September 19, 2013) was the Mid-Autumn Festival and this was widely celebrated across Asia. What makes it interesting is how exactly each country celebrates this special day. Back in the Philippines, the Filipino-Chinese community would have rounds of Dice Games . This is one of my favorite activities as it's a fun game of luck and whatever happens, you get to go home with lots of goodies, items or if you're really lucky...more cash. Here in Singapore, I don't think Dice Games are played but instead they tie this day in with the Lantern Festival . As early as a month ago, we have seen a lot of colorful lanterns being sold in mall atriums. I'm not quite sure yet what the lantern stands for but it sure looks really good to see the entire Chinatown district decorated with these colorful lanterns especially at night. However, the main focus of this season are on these hand-crafted baked treats that we would give to friends, families and business partners...
