: : Mooncake Festival, Part I : :
3:30 p.m.
Wena : Mahmah! Get ready ah! We're going to mooncake festival at Carpenter Street! Will pick you up after work at around 6 p.m.!
Granny : Hai! I haven't mandi (bath) yet lah!
Wena : Never mind. We go one day only lah!
6:00 p.m.
Well, we left nearly home on time and managed to find a good parking spot behind Harbourview Hotel. The streets weren't so crowded yet as it had just stopped raining and people haven't started to arrive yet.
One of the first things we saw was this stall. I actually read about it in Vampire's posting so was curious to find out more about it. They were making popsicles by turning the containers in iced water. Looks like hard work to me. They were freezing Fruitade and Cherry Ade. It came out as a thin popsicle on a satay stick. :)
Nearby was a drink stall selling coconut drinks and sugar cane drinks.
I decided not to buy some after seeing how the uncle was making the juice. He had a cigarette in his mouth! Wasn't taking the chance of drinking cigarette ashes in my drink.
Thought these mini fruit tarts looked so tasty that I bought some. Unfortunately, by the time we got back home, the fruit tarts were a messed. Oh well.
I actually have more pictures and videos but have to sort them out first before posting them. :) So, that's for tomorrow!
