Durian Snow Skin Mooncake

Its the time of the month again, the mooncake festival month. Last year, Jolly Rosa introduced the mooncakes and also played with lanterns. You can see the previous mooncake festival post here:


This year, Jolly Rosa is having Durian snow skin mooncake from Shangrila!

 Here's a look at the delicious shangrila durian snow skin mooncake.

The Shangrila Durian Snow Skin mooncake came in a very unique purple box.

It has flower embroidery on the box, making it look posh and classy.

Shangrila durian snow skin mooncakes are freshly made, hence it must be consumed within 3 days and kept refrigerated always.

Upon opening the cover, you can find 8 nicely packed little boxes.

Each box contains the mini durian snow skin mooncake in a classy plastic container.

Jolly Rosa cannot wait to get her hands on the durian snow skin mooncake.

As widely known, Goodwood Park's durian snow skin mooncakes are legendary.

However we have decided to go for the Shangrila durian snow skin, so we got the double egg yolk lotus paste mooncakes from Goodwood Park.

The double yolk lotus paste mooncake from Goodwood Park is not worth trying though.

The Shangrila Durian snow skin mooncake on the other hand, highly recommended!

Mid-Autumn Festival 2012 (Lantern edition)

Earlier it was Mid-Autumn Festival. Also called Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival. Jolly Rosa can't wait to play with the lanterns this year. We have all that is ready - lantern, candles, holder (wooden stick) and a lighter.

Jolly Rosa looks upon eagerly as we light up the candle!

First you have to fold up the brackets at the center of the lantern. Either burn the button of the candle to produce wax for sticking onto the lantern or..

drip the wax onto the brackets of the candle holder in the lantern. Both way works as long as the candle sticks on.

The candle lights up nicely on the lantern. Jolly Rosa is so excited!

The lantern is fully setup! Rosa can't wait to go downstairs!

Big fat Jolly Rosa being transported downstairs in a mooncake paper bag (^_^)

Rosa found a very nice spot!

We lit up the big lantern with Rosa.

How about one more lantern? :D

2 is not enough, Jolly Rosa has 3 lanterns!

It was a great night of fun, Rosa gets to play with lantern downstairs during this Mid-Autumn Festival.

What's coming next?! H-a-l-l-o-w-e-e-n
*BOO*

Mid-Autumn Festival 2012 (Mooncake edition)

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival 2012! Also called the Mooncake Festival, this year we are filled with mooncakes and Jolly Rosa is very excited to check out what we have!

Mooncakes always come in uniquely designed boxes, each with their own special design to stand out from the crowd. This is a double storey mooncake box from Ritz Carlton.

Next, Jolly Rosa checks out a long mooncake box, something different from the usual square box.

The box opens at both sides and on top. These mooncakes are from Continental Catering.

White Lotus Seed Paste with Double Egg Yolks mooncakes from Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant (of Sheraton Towers)

Double Yolk mooncakes from Tien Court.

Jolly Rosa spots something slight different, from Teochew City Seafood Restaurant..

 Its Teochew yam paste mooncakes with single egg yolk.

 Jolly Rosa! How can you finish all 5 boxes of mooncakes? Let's cut the mooncakes into small pieces and share with everyone!

Jolly Rosa wishing everyone Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2012! Enjoy your mooncakes!

Happy Chinese New Year 2012

Its Chinese New Year and NICI-Mania is on a long holiday break. Spotted, an eccentric creature lurking around our house..

That creature is slithering at full throttle, we have to run faster to catch up to it..

Finally we managed to get closer...

Side view of the creature looks very familiar..

Its a lion dance creature! Our lion dance entry last year will tell you more! Meanwhile, what is this lion doing at our house? As we look under the disguise.....

Its minily Jolly Mah under the lion dance costume!!

Minily Jolly Mah and NICI-Mania wishes everyone Happy Chinese New Year 2012. Enjoy the festive occasion!!
