Mooncake Madness!

Sat night Isadora and Anthony invited us for a Mooncake celebration dinner which is always filled with very yummy food as Isadora is a great part time chef! Not only did we eat and drink but we had to get the lanterns out as well!














Shark fin soup, prawn crackers, soft shell crabs, Yong Tau Foo, Black pepper beef and a Nonya entree thingy.








After dinner we had ice kacang which I made myself! So yummy that I only thought abt the photo halfway through it!








After ice kacang, the main event! Mooncake! These mooncakes we had made by Isadora herself! They were super yummy!!!



After dinner Isadora made us all go out in the COLD to play with lanterns and sparklers! I felt like i was 13 again! In the beginning I was like... "What the?!" but then it was really fun... her neigbours didnt come out which really saved us looking weird!












I have never been to a mooncake festival without a lantern going up in flames! Thanks to Charlotte ;)

Malaysia Fest 2006

A few Sundays ago, I had the honour of being the MC for Malaysia Fest 2006 @ Tumbalong Park Darling Harbour. This event is the biggest event in Australia to promote Malaysia through food and many cultural shows. I meant to post this up early but I didnt have the time. To find out more about Malaysia Fest you can visit their website.

On this day I was on the stage from 9am till pass 5pm and I didnt have the chance to eat! Cause I was too busy talking! :) I tried to be funny, but im not sure if that worked as I made a little kid cry on stage. Boo Hoo :(

It was pretty scary in the beginning MC'ing to tens of thousands of people but after a while, I didnt even notice that they were there. I kinda like being an MC, its pretty cool!
