: : Mooncake Festival ~ Carpenter St. Part II : :

Strolling along Carpenter Street last Sunday, Granny and I found a little stall still making kantong using the traditional method of making shaven ice.

It’s a block of ice on a wooden stand that has a blade with a serrated edge in the middle. Click here to view a video demo of the man at work.

And this is the kantong @ sweeten iced-stick. Nice to eat while weaving through a crowded area. Everyone is making way for you because they do not want their clothes to become sticky. Hee hee!

Granny : Aiya! It’s not a ball! Also, not as good as the one in Penang lah!

Lucia will be most happy at the above statement. As well as Panda. 🙂

Happy Lunar Day everyone!

I went to colour my hair since I haven’t done it since December. Amazingly, my hair got treated with a Hair Salad : Nutrients Treatment.

And I came out of the salon with hair giving off the wonderful fragrance of …

…strawberries.
