Mooncake MIA

I was told by a little bird that the Koreans have claimed the Dumpling Festival for their own, saying that the dude who jumped into the sea was a Korean dude. So I wondered who was going to claim the Mooncake Festival also more correctly known as Mid-Autumn Festival?

If the Mooncake Festival was Japanese:
Lanterns will be made of impossibly difficult to replicate origami.

If the Dutch claimed it to be their festival:

Everything would be orange, not just the egg yolk inside the mooncake.

If the Malaysians decided that heck, we wanted a piece of the fun:

There would be sambal ikan bilis and coconut rice filling complete with the banana leaf skin.

If Singapore decided to be kiasu:

We would have the Hainanese Chicken Rice filling and the mooncake will be bigger and better than Malaysian mooncakes.

Thank goodness no one has decided to go to UNESCO to claim this festival for their own yet *I think*. I am an advocate of cultural exchange and sincerely believe that those little things we do in our home countries are also done similarly in our neighbouring countries for the same reason. People move to new places and bring along their beliefs and practices and are later incorporated into the local practice. Likewise, Malaysian podiatrists who are currently living in Cantoland will bring along the stomach to try different mooncakes especially the Sambal Ikan Bilis one and play with Hello Kitty lanterns. I am all prepared for my first Mid-Autumn festival in Hong Kong! I have two mooncakes ready and a cute inflatable Hello Kitty lantern in a pink dress holding a yellow flower and purple wings that has flashing lights and annoying music. I will out-kitty even the most hardcore little girl with pink bows ahahaha...

My one peeve is that someone has stolen my mooncake from the fridge. I was looking forward to having the yogurt flavoured snowy mooncake for breakfast! Grrr... I will hunt the person down and pluck out their eyebrows then paint over with Silver Nitrate! Grrrr...
