Home Made Vege-Bun

这不是我吃过最好吃的菜包，可却是最令我感动的。

这一天，妈妈趁着我在家可以看着永轩，做了菜包给我们尝。

当搓好的包发酵后，是时候来把馅料包进去了。

当然，不可或缺的就是“最爱” - 鸡蛋。

半成品好了。蒸炉准备好，再等15分钟就可以吃了。

妈妈的菜包好了。黄黄的外皮是因为妈妈放了焦糖啦！健康嘛！

Oh No ! ... Yong Shuan starts to suck his ~~tumb~~ thumb ....

Is there anyone looking forward for Moon Cake festival ? It falls on the 25th September this year. I still remember last moon cake festival, we bought the most expensive ever "Hai Wai Tian" 海外天 moon cake in our life. The four moon cakes packed in decorated metal box costed me AUD $28.

还记得去年的中秋节，是我们一生中买过最贵月饼的那年。在这里，我们很怀念马来西亚的月饼，就在去年，我们买了一盒$28 澳币的“海外天”月饼。吃起来还是马来西亚的月饼比较和我们的口味。

Years ago, when comes to Moon Cake Festival, dad and mum even bought the moon cake from Ipoh back to our hometown, Sungai Petani. Logistic during that time is not "canggih" as today. Ipoh's famous moon cake such like Hai Wai Tian & Foh San is not available at northern Malaysia.

很多年前，当时交通运输没有今天的方便，我们甚至会买怡保的月饼给住在双溪大年的公公婆婆。现在在墨尔本也有“海外天”月饼，给很多的游子有机会吃到家乡的月饼。其实中秋节还有一样很特色的小猪饼。不知道有谁会像我一样很喜欢小猪饼？就是那种没有馅料月饼皮做的小猪饼。

Mooncakes always come with the "Pig cake" - sometime you'll find them in other shape like the fish. They are made from the same ingredient as moon cake. Anyone know why is this cake always made in the Pig shape? As I crave for moon cake, I bought this Pig flaky cake at the grocery store 2 weeks ago.

这是在杂货店买的小猪饼。

I thought there are no stuff inside this cake as I would prefer the skin more than the stuff.

还以为是我想要的小猪饼。。。结果。。是有馅料的小猪饼。太甜了。

Opps... Look at the white lotus paste, OMG, personally I think that is too sweat for me. Usually, the thinner the skin can be is to show how professional and skilled the chef who made it. However to me, I want the "skin" not the sweat stuff. We end up cut this cake into four pieces and .....shhh... I took the smallest piece. hehe...

Where is my Anlene Milk?

On our way home after work, we went to supermarket to get milk and creamed corn for mum to make "Jagung Bun". Shao Wen and I went seperate column in the store to get the milk. As I was on my way to get the Anlene milk, the great discounts on ice-cream caught my attention and we bought some of them home. While on the way home eagerly to see YS, what happened was we realised we have forgotten the the main item in our shopping list - the MILK! We both laughed as this indeed reminded us on some emails we used to get from friends describing how shoppers end up with car full of things not in their shopping list.

Mum's first visit to winery

We managed to visit one winery on our way home from the sanctuary before sunset.

After a few tasting, we bought one shiraz for dad.
