Mcritchie n Brunch at Poison ivy

Bil had never been to mcritchie,.. so on sat(20/9) we went on a morning outing to mcritchie reservoir n e kranji countryside.

Lots of monkeys spotted at mcrit., up close. There were also schools of fish (silver with red tipped fins) in e water, how i wish we had some bread ;)

At poison-ivy(cafe at bollywood farm), a chatty ivy singh lim came by the table to dish out interesting anecdotes of her youth and viewpoints, in full character n colorful language.

Lunch was good, grilled brinjal with cheese n veg topping, young-papaya salad with morning glory flowers, kungpao chicken, 4-angled beans fried in garlic, sweetpotato leaves, asam curryfish, drumlets, grilled chicken n fries, pratas n good simple white rice.

The cafe was bustling, and Kait had plenty of fun at e sand-pit and herb garden.

Mooncake festival 2008

Tis mid-autumn has been a series of makan sessions.. first a box of extremely delectable famous ping-pi (snowskin) mini-mooncakes fr raffles hotel :)

These r absolutely my fav, exotic fillings of truffle, fruit etc.

Next, i saw a queue at goodwood, n picked up a box of durian(d24) mooncakes, signature flavour of goodwood.. yummy!

Over at Ling's plc, there were more good stuff.. mooncakes, tiramisu(Martha), bubur hitam ++ brandy, strawberry-blueberries meringue dessert(Chris)... etc!

It was a triple celebration of Max's bday, Chi's Bday, Mid-autumn.. n hse warming, retro-themed party.

Next day, it was family bbq wif niece n cousins.. wif lots of smoky stuff to eat :) , including some expertly toasted marshmallows!

Mr Moon must have been very amused to see all e activities of e mid-autumn festival all over, especially in asia!
