Viking's Mid Autumn Festival Celebration

Mid-Autumn Festival is an event looked forward by most everyone - simply because of the moon cakes (and also the dice games! hahaha..) The past few years, I have seen many variations of the moon cakes. Different ingredients, different versions - and now Viking's is presenting their own version of moon cakes to their patrons, from hot dishes to delicious desserts!

These special moon cakes will be available on ALL weekends of September!

Beef Bourguignon Mooncake with Cahron Sauce (on top) is so meaty good. I especially loved the Choron sauce as it made this particular beef mooncake's taste stand out. The Minced Goat Cheese Mooncake with Mango Coulis (the one at the bottom) is also good - if you like the taste of lamb, the goat cheese's flavor is very strong, thus I'm sure you're enjoy it.

This is the Salted Lotus Mooncake. If you enjoy the traditional mooncake - then this is for you!!

On the left is the Asado Mooncake - it has bits and pieces of the asado tucked in the mooncake. The taste is different from what we are familiar with but still good. The one on the right is the Crusty Shrimp cheese Mooncake - it's made of a puff pastry and oh my gosh, it's really really good! This has to be my favorite mooncake of all the hot mooncakes presented. I swear, the taste is WOW!

The yellow one is the Choco Trifile Mooncake - one bit into and it and I fell in love with it! The texture and the taste is really really really good. If you like chocolates then this one is for you! I swear, every bite I made - I paid it a compliment. That was how much I loved this particular dessert mooncake! The pink on is the Wild Berry Cheese Mooncake - it has a cheesecake filling inside. If you like the taste of berries, then you will like this pink and sweet dessert.

Look at that chocolatey goodness. I wish they sold this though, because I would have bought a lot and hoarded it at home.

These dishes are available on all weekends of September in all Vikings branches!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
