Posted on 08/09/200822/01/2013 By Reedz

The recent stories in the local media regarding kids being mauled by dogs has again highlighted the need for some legislation on the control of strays. My heart goes out to the poor child and his family and I along with many others I’m sure, would like to see some…

Teochew style mooncakes are different from the usual mooncakes that we are used to seeing in supermarkets and specialty shops. These mooncakes have a flaky skin which is similar to puff pastry. The filling is typically yam instead of the usual red-bean or lotus paste. Different as it may be from traditional mooncakes, E of Foodie Tales and Senor Pablo will agree, it simply ROCKS!

They cost B$5.00 with yolk and B$4.50 without. Fantastic little snack for breaking fast this ramadan. To order, call 8779930 or email [email protected]
