Mooncake Whammy

30 Sep

It is the Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival time! And during this occasion, there is an abundance of mooncake choices to savor. I love ’em all! This sinful indulgence is so bad for my health, unfortunately.

In the past, I used to enjoy those mooncakes with double salted egg yolk inside. These days, I’m more into the Mixed Nuts flavor. Then there are the Snow Skin options, which are so good. Recently, I bought the Durian-flavored mooncake to try as well. Regardless of which flavor, I find my waistline expanding just looking at the mooncakes!

Two days ago, I ate a piece of the double-salted egg yolk mooncake, and I felt so gorged. Although it was one-eighth of the whole mooncake, it was enough to make me feel stuffed. Too oily, perhaps?

As for the Mixed Nuts, it borders on being too sweet, and many times I cannot resist! Sigh, a no-win situation. Mix and match, it is a double whammy situation where my waistline expands and the bathroom scale frowns when I step on it. Hahaha.

Beautiful Brains, Part 2

Ohm nom nom...

Ohm nom nom…

“Mommy! Mommy! Come feel my skin,” M2 urges me enthusiastically several nights ago. “It’s so smooth! And you know why?”

“I don’t know. Tell me,” I indulged her.

“You’ve stopped calling us that name!” she said happily.

Feigning surprise, I said,”Ahh…. the ‘P’ word. I’ve been calling you two ‘Beautiful skin with brains’ and ‘Beautiful brains’, that’s why.”

“But you know what?” she added. “Not only my skin is so smooth now, my face is so round like the mooncakes we’ve been eating!”

It is the Mid-Autumn Festival this week and we have been savoring a lot of mooncakes. The girls love all the different flavors and eating to their heart’s content.

“Maybe you should call us ‘Skinny Face’ instead so that we don’t have mooncake faces because the other name worked,” M2 suggested.

Hahahaha… I don’t know… somehow ‘Skinny Face’ is not such an endearing term.
