Thinking of how to celebrate with your friends or family?

Chinatown

Well, I guess many Singaporean would have guess this place to go for Mid-Autumn. Afterall this had been the home base for all Mid-Autumn festivities. So come on down to Chinatown to soak in the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival by visiting street bazaars and nightly cultural shows. I'm sure this place will leave you dazzled and entertained until well after the full moon has set.

MOONCAKES!!!
Recently I got to try Xin Cuisine Mooncakes with my friends!

One of the highly recommended will be Xin Cuisine's signature Mini Special Egg Custard with Egg Yolk Mooncake. The rich, smooth and endless elegance of the enchanting creamy custard ensconced in a lightly baked outer crust has earned it the best seller status, accolades and enthusiastic appreciation alike. 

Xin Cuisine is also bringing back other perennial favourites together; For a more traditional take, there would be the flaky crust and flavourful textures of the Teochew Yam Paste Mooncake. I love their Yam Paste Mooncake too! =)


For snowskin aficionados, you can take their pick from a range of heady flavours including the Soursop and Chocolate Crunch and Green Tea Lotus Paste with Chivas Chocolate.

 You can tell we just can't have enough of their mooncakes!!!

 Check out their delightful mooncakes!!!


Bring home a box of Xin Cuisine Mooncake today!!!

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

 1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her.

But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend. Though vigorous, I felt that they were all enjoyable with the class of 2022 around. 3) Are there any nervous moments and stress factors during the competition and how did you deal with it?

I guess how I dealt with it was to just let down my shoulders and enjoy the moment. Being relaxed and just being myself because that’s what people want to see! 4...
