A.P.P.L.E

Last Saturday, Orange and I didn’t know where to have our dinner. He suggested going to some where near by. So we dined in MUS Grill & Lounge which is located at the same location of The Banquet. Unlike The Banquet that serves Chinese cuisine, MUS is a dinning place for western food.

The environment is very nice. We sat outdoors and nice music that can bring up the mood was on air. But it feels a little uneasy for us because it feels like a high class dining place. I didn’t manage to take some pictures of the menu as that time, I was so clumsy that I only brought along my camera without batteries. Since this place is not far from home, I went back to get my batteries in order to post the following photos. (So eager to take photos because I feel that this is the first and the last time to dine here.)

Really high class…the cheapest drink you can get already cost RM4.00. Orange ordered ice lemon tea and I ordered fresh honeydew.

I know the mooncake festival is over now, but still have the mood on sharing some information about mooncakes. Whenever this festival is around, I will think of my friend, Stanley. He started baking mooncakes in his early age and now he handles everything in his mooncake shop. This year, is the first time I bought mooncakes from him using my very own money. The previous years, I brought my family to his shop and purchased mooncakes (using Dad’s money).

Sin Hian Chia Enterprise is a very well-known name among the Chinese in Kuching. It’s an old shop selling Chinese delicacy for years. It’s well known for the traditional mooncakes they produced. Although nowadays, they also introduce new flavors such as tiramisu paste, chocolate cheese paste…and a lot more.

月圆，人团圆。(yue yuan, ren tuan yuan)
A Chinese saying which means “Moon round, people reunite.”
Yup, at the night of the Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival like this, the Chinese will eat the very sweet round cakes which they called them mooncakes, hanging paper lanterns during night time and of course a reunion dinner among family members.

Last night I ate a lot of food till I felt very uncomfortable, perhaps it’s been some time I haven’t eaten that much. However, it was a meaningful and delicious meal. I did take some photos of a varieties of mooncake that I bought earlier, but I don’t have them with me right now. So, I can only share some mooncakes photo that are available now.

This is called the bing pi (冰皮) mooncake.
The green one contains coffee flavored paste and the yellow one contains durian flavored paste.

Orange and i were invited by our friends to attend a BBQ party that they organized yesterday evening. In the invitation card we received, it stated there 6pm. We arrived around 6.20pm. We thought we were late, but in turned out that we were the first guests! Typical Asian “punctual” timing. kekeke..

There were 2 big plates of fried noodles cooked by my friend’s parent. I was a bit hungry that time, but since everyone was not there yet, we just sat in the living room waiting for the others.
