barry celebrates harvest moons and thai delights


so, i just found out not half an hour ago that tomorrow is the mid-autumn or moon festival. it's a time when families get together and celebrate their adundance and completeness, but more importantly eat moon cakes. moon cakes are delightful lotus and peanut concoctions that have an egg in the middle to symbolize the moon. they're not really sweet, but they are definitely tasty, with a lot of peanut and almost toffee action going on. stay up late tomorrow, eat some cake and enjoy mother nature's show.

last friday i went out with colleagues to enjoy the spectacle that is tropika on calgary trail. if you love thai and malaysian food, head down for the feast.

roti and satays
start off our delightful meal.
roti all the way!


red chili chicken
garlic and cashews combine.
oh dear god it's hot!


bland and forgetful,
the desserts disappoint me.
...more roti perhaps?
