Dumplings Festival's coming up!^^
Hehe.. Attended an event organised by neighbourhood RC last sunday in lieu with the Dumplings festival. It's weird to call it the dumplings festival, so crude kinda thing. The same goes to Mooncake Festival. The main thing & all that historical importance behind the celebrations seemed neglected in favour of delicious food. Whose idiotic idea was that???
Anyway, i dun sacrifice my morning sleep for no good reason..
Hehe... cos for a ticket of $3, each person will get to bring home 2 dumplings and enjoy a free breakfast, comprising of a McChicken, apple pie and free flow of McDonald's coffee. But i arent a fan of hot coffee, so 1 cup is more than enough.. Heez.. But if it's iced coffee, then it's a totally different case.. Hmms..
IT'S SO VALUE FOR MONEY LOR!
The McChicken alone costs $2.. Haha..
How can a dumplings fest event be without dumplings making competition?
See the crowd gathering near the competition area~
Ready, get set, GO!
See who can make the most dumplings within the stipulated time..
Heh.. I cant make a proper dumpling even if u give me double their time.
But cant compare u see, some of these aunties are pros la~
Hmm maybe i can compete in another form of competition~
Speed eating dumpling competition!
Yeps.. since i love eating bak dumplings and nonya dumplings (slight diff in taste.. nonya one's sweet while the other's salty)
I think i was too engrossed in taking pics, didnt realise that i was standing next to the MP of my zone. Guest of honour Mr Magad, who brought his daughter along too.. Until my mom told me when we returned to our seats.
The rest of the programme isnt all that exciting as expected.
First time playing mass Bingo game. Everyone's given a piece of paper with numbers, then as numbers are selected by the emcee, we cross out the numbers. Boo.. I managed to make almost a few rows (3 or 4) but each row lack a single number to form a proper 5-in-a-straight-row to win the game. Haiz.. Never mind..
Lucky draw time, always like no luck one leh.. one of the numbers 1167, one of the lucky tickets chosen was 1176. Faints..
Anyway,
HAPPY DUMPLINGS FESTIVAL EVERYONE!
ENJOY EATING DUMPLINGS... and dont forget the origins of this festival, yeah.. it's not solely for eating dumplings..
