My co-worker's baby is one month old so we were all given a box of full-moon delights each for lunch that contains half a roasted honey chicken, two red hard boiled eggs, some pickled ginger slices and 2 angkus with coconut and peanuts fillings. Food is quite tasty.

The roasted honey chicken looks so tasty, I like. Yum Yum.
ReplyDeleteI like the skin
Deletei think the skin is quite burnt.
DeleteThat's lovely. I did hear they give ang koo but not the Foochow practice. We give mee sua and chicken soup and red eggs to immediate next of kin - friends and colleagues can come to the house and eat...and when they leave, they will be given eggs - these days, they do not cook the eggs, let them take home and do what they want with them.
ReplyDeleteoh raw eggs? easily broken if not careful on the way home.
DeleteI love to receive full moon package. I prefer those with nasi kunyit and more ang ku kuih. hahaha!
ReplyDeleteyes all of us are happy too. nasi kunyit fills up the stomach more.
DeleteNow so convenient purchase fullmoon gifts, not like last time, when you need to prepare and cook. Lol. I only ordered the fullmoon gifts for Jamie when in Sibu. From bakery so it was some cake, egg and other stuff. For Jan and Jay, my confinement lady cooked kacangma and eggs to friends and relatives.
ReplyDeleteagreed that it is more convenient now.
Deleteyour confinement lady must be a good cook.
DeleteLong time didn't receive full moon gift but we are looking forward to one soon. I love the angku and ginger pickles.
ReplyDeletehow nice! means a baby will turn one month old soon.
DeleteThis is nice. For both of my kids, we give out gift boxes like this too but we ordered from Ayamas as the outlet is nearby our place.
ReplyDeleteayamas chicken is tasty!
Deletethe chicken looks huge! RM15.60 for a 'half chicken' gift box is so value for money. My few colleagues also ordered their fullmoon gift box from this supplier as the box design are similar.
ReplyDeleteerh, the chicken is quite thin to be honest. without rice some of my co workers were still hungry after eating the half chicken. i guess this supplier is popular because their gift box is value for money and tasty too.
DeleteThese days the full moon food delivery is made easier! Gone were the days when the mother in laws had to cook curry chicken with nasi kunyit, red eggs and ang koo kuehs! The son had to drive his mother from house to house to deliver and collect red packets. That was a common practice in Penang when I was a small kid. I think the old traditions will be totally gone.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to have honey roasted chicken than curry chicken with nasi kunyit! LOL
i think got give this gift pack is keeping the tradition already. if me, what full month? no celebration at all lah. totally no event for that day.
DeleteOo been a while since I've seen one of these. Wouldn't mind receiving one! Ok la but need to reciprocate with angpow!
ReplyDeleteof course angpow is a must.
