阿一鲍鱼, 1 Mooncake

It's pretty amusing of Orchard Central to give out 1 number of Mooncake to any customer with $80 purchase at their Mall. Why? Because Mooncake like any Chinese festive items should not come in singular number that prompted inauspiciousness, or even disrespect to the elderly Chinese. It should always come in pair, 2 at least, especially as a giveaway or gift..

It a big taboo for an event organiser, i feel, to miss out on this aspect in a Chinese community.


Well, we choose to be unaffected by this allegory that we too observed, viewing it just as a food sampler. It was no doubt my first Mooncake this year.

And i quite surprised myself at my nonchalant to Mooncakes!? I used to love Mooncakes, very much. At least until last year's festival. Now i've changed? For the better? Cause the Mid-Autumn Festival each year easily raises the reading on my weighting machine by 2kg, haha...
