MY INTERESTING (that's irony) LIFE. *

Selling of Mooncakes, Vivo City Singapore
The selling of moon cakes at Vivo City, Singapore.

Moon Cakes are only sold this time of year. Take some getting used to ... They are definitely an acquired taste for lotus paste and red bean, and other interesting fillings. They are round cakes (like the full moon of our Chinese Mid-Autumn or Lantern Festival). They are 2"- 3.5" big. The "really good ones" have a duck egg yolk inside! YUM YUM!

Vivo City is the largest mall here in Singapore. It's down at the harbor front where people take the boats to Indonesia's islands of Bintan and Batam, and across from Singapore's little playground: Sentosa Island. This mall was finished our first year while living close to the harbor at Teresaville, so we were down there often. The grocery shopping was great! I could park right next to the exit of a GIANT store on the same floor as the parking lot. Ahh! Convenience! A car and handy parking lot!
