Pwa Tiong Chiu Dinner

 

Because I lived away from home the last 10 or so years, I never got to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with my family in Manila.

This year is the first time and I was pretty excited about it.

As expected, it was…

CHAOS!!!

Fitting 5 tables, 50-something people, and all the dice game prizes in Auntie Kiddie's dining room
was not a simple feat

Standing, chewing, swallowing and talking (without spitting food) all at the same time is
not easy, but each Fatterside member has proudly mastered the art

We moved around tables, compared notes, invented our own rules, picked our own prizes...
It was a jungle, and we were wild and happy animals :)
