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.

Seafoooooood!!  For those who love love love Japanese! Cheese!  Who doesn't love cheeeeeeese?!  A wide selection of cold cuts!!  Tapas, anyone??   I secretly loved this..  A Nacho Station!!!! Pizza Station - this was my first stop!   Bread Station - I'm sure ...
