Belated Moon Celebration

[ziasudra]

Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival (for more information on the holiday, see my post last year on it), but my roommates and I did nothing to observe the day. I always thought it a disadvantage to live in a city during holidays when one needs to look above all the tall buildings to see celestial bodies. I definitely couldn't see the moon from my apartment window ;p

So I had a belated happy-mid-autumn-festival dinner tonight in Chinatown with sunnydlita, everydaysushi, and other friends. Seven-odd dishes from Yeah Shanghai and the total came out to only $7 per person! We had yummy soup dumplings and turnip pastry thingies and shreded tofu skin, among other things.

I managed to buy another batch of logan fruit before they disappear for good as summer ends. Still $5 per pound, without stems. Not bad.

Tomorrow, I shall eat moon cake, just to complete this year's Mid-Autumn Festival experiece *g*

Thankfully, Steven hasn't tried to make me eat moon cake yet this year. I just really don't like the stuff.

Shi nin kwi la! (I know I spelled that wrong, but I would do even worse trying to write it out in pinyin.)

Happy Autumn! My favorite time of year :) Go look at some orange leaves for me!

Sorry again for making you wait, but I'm glad you came!

My buddy Sara loved the turnip pastry, so thanks for introducing those to her!
