Mia's Moon Yuet

Mia's Moon Yuet was a feast for the eyes filled with good company and good food. My Chinese ancestors would be proud of the effort we put in, and I think everyone went home with satisfied tummies...pity young Mia could not enjoy all the delicacies put out..




Menu included:
Ang Kueh cakes (red rice cakes) tortoise shape
symbolises that long-living creatures would bring longevity to the person eating it. We had to go rose bud as we couldn't find the moulds and we totally delicious
Fried Noodles that symbolises long life
Roast Pork - cos its yummy
Red Eggs -symbolising happiness & renewal of life
Mia Moon Yuet Cake (bees inspired by Nigella)-sweetness symbolizes a rich, sweet life, while the layers symbolize rising abundance for the coming year.
Prawns (just because they rock )
Spring Rolls (my fav)
Yee Sang Salad (total hit) - symbolises abundance, prosperity and vigor
Plus other bits and pieces...

Here are some pics of the day. This will
be one of many celebrations to please the
palate and fill the heart . Thanks to Oma Rita
who did most of the catering..such a legend..
if only I could be a great cook and Mum like her...





We also asked Amelia and Damo
to be the blessed God parents of which we will make it official at a Baptism down the track.
