Mid-Autumn Celebration @ Hua Song Museum

Received an exclusive invitation to mid-autumn celebration at Hua Song Museum. The last time when I have been to the place was last year for company chinese new year's lunch. I could remember that we took up the whole Food Hall room ('cos got 88 people so need big room). It seems that the restaurant has since closed down. Don't know what will become of this place then.

Reached there just before 7pm. Oh man! Where are everyone? It seems that most people are taking the shuttle bus and have not arrived yet.
Good for us. We can explore around the museum in leisure.

Anyone for a game of baby mahjong?

Wow it is a nite down the memory lane for us especially my grandma.
I think we are supposed to wait for the second shuttle bus to arrive but everyone are hungry. So we attacked the kuehs to fill a bit of our hunger.
The must have mooncakes from various brands divided into 2 tables. Then we need tea to wash down the mooncake taste but seems that the tea has not been made yet. So must wait for the water boil to make the longjing green, pu er, oolong and jasmine tea. Meantime just have to make do with ice water loh.

The handmade snow skin mooncake are nice and they made on the spot. Talk about freshly made ones. There is also simple lantern making and calligraphy.
Finally the buffet dinner starts. There is fried rice, fried mee hoon, fried fish nuggets, fried chicken bits and stir-fried vegetables. Most can be heard making noise about how to eat rice with only forks. Yeah 'cos no spoons can be found.
My grandma still not full so we left midway the event for the food centre where she can her fill of BBQ seafood. Wish the event will be better next time.
