I am sooooooooo

Excited!!!

Because I just bought the mooncake ingredients during lunchtime and I am going to make my own snowskin mooncakes tonight!! Provided I am not tired after shopping after work. Hehe!

Spent $38.60 on the ingredients and tools. Heard it is very simple to make. Hope it will come out nice. :)


I will be meeting Yanping and Yongsheng for dinner later @ Taka. Will take this chance to "try" the mooncakes and also buy my all-time favourite lao por bing. :)
Yanping also mentioned JL got sales, 1 set cost $9.90.Think I will try to drop by later to get some for Carys and see got any nice ones for Bryant.
