MOONCAKES THAT BREAK TRADITIONS

Keep traditions or break them? - Ah, i will not go into this argument but for mooncakes - variety is indeed the spice of life. How many traditional single yolk or double yolk mooncakes with the traditional brown oven-baked skin can you eat? But transform that into different flavours and you could be eating the entire night or afternoon high teas even. In small portions, lah! We have wine-pairing and coffee-tasting. Has anyone invented mooncake tasting high tea yet?



Just in case you are wondering, the maniature fruits are made using Jumping Clay.
The fruits are popular fruits in this part of the world. Mangoes, strawberries, papayas, bananas and mangosteens.

E.T. Looks Back In Space and Time

OK. Those who watched E.T. and knows who is E.T. are probably born before 1982, right? That includes me of course.

Did you know?
1. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 American science fiction film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg.

2. It was written by Melissa Mathison and she was the wife of Harrison Ford.

3. It starred Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, and Dee Wallace and of course the child actor and actress shot to fame as they grew up.

4. It tells the story of Elliott (played by Thomas), a lonely boy who befriends a friendly extraterrestrial, dubbed "E.T.", who is stranded on Earth. Elliott and his siblings help the extraterrestrial return home while attempting to keep it hidden from their mother and the government.
