It is also my Chinese birthday. So Fr Jose, Christina and Dr Marie will be coming for dinner. We will eat moon cakes and then in Teochew we say bai ghuêh nio 拜月娘 - where we will admire the full moon and drink Chinese tea.
We are having biryani for dinner and for dessert we will have Eton Mess. Christina has bought moon cakes 月餅 and she will bring them over on Moon Festival night.
I will share pictures of the food we are having on this lovely feast day.
It is too hot this year for me to make any Teochew moon cakes. It is 31 C today and around 28 C for the next two days and it may even be hotter for the next two days.
