Mid-Autumn Festival has always been one of my favourite festival of
the year because of the delicious jelly moon cakes mom would buy every year.
However, somehow I was a little sad this year because we did not get any jelly
mooncake this year.
Still, spending time with mom this year during Mid-Autumn
Festival made it so much more enjoyable and meaningful. It’s been 3 years since
I’ve been away from home and I’m more than happy to be finally moving home and
spending more time with mom. <3
Having some time off work, we made quite a drive from home
to this new place called Plaza Arkadia in Desa ParkCity to check out the
Mid-Autumn Festival. Apparently, there’s a weekend bazaar and lots of
interesting activities happening. It sounds like really interesting and I’m
glad I made a trip here with my loved ones.
This casual stroll has brought so much laughter and joy as
we enjoy watching our little new family member (my little nephew) laughing and
smiling so happily while being intrigued by those brightly lit colour lanterns
and also water fountains.
Plaza Arkadia is still a fairly new establishment in the
Desa ParkCity but it was done so well with many different eateries around the
huge water fountain that I find myself really enjoying this new environment.
Everyone seems to be relaxing in an assortment of eateries and also around the
colourful water fountain which brings so much live to the place! People were sitting around the fountain, creating laughters once in a while and kids would play with the waters shooting up from the floor while giggling, it was a spread of happy vibe and joy. While on the other corner, there's Lady Chang'E going around in the cloud with her partner spreading joy.
There were a small area set up for weekend bazaars and I
have to admit they have some lovely clothing accessories stall there which are
totally girl’s favourite. That’s not all, there are also a variety of stalls to
cater to all people such as a DIY Toy Figuring stall which I find really
amazing and interesting, there’s a stall selling DIY canvas painting which I
have always wanted to try for myself, and also a stall selling delicious Musang
King mooncake! Super yumms!
Desa ParkCity has always organized events to bring family
closer and this time, not to be missed is the Keychain and also Lantern
workshop where parents can learn how to do it together with their kids! My
little nephew was too young but I would definitely like to bring him to explore
such opportunities when he gets much older! I even saw a kid enjoying his
creation with his mom! Sweetness!
Bering a girl, my favourite stalls are those selling fashion
clothing and also one which sells about Korean hair tie and accessories. It
reminds me how long I have been such a plain jane! Sure is exciting to purchase
from pretty ones! Did I tell you that it is interesting to find Batik design
gowns which my aunt would always wear as her night wear? It brings back some
nostalgic memories.
There was also a stall selling little green plants! Apparently
they don’t need much watering. I love how a plant which needs little care
can brighten up the environment. All of them actually
looks really pretty with their own characteristics.
It was really fun and I love to come back to this place again someday. Definitely recommending you to give a visit too even there's no special occasion. The environment and variety of eateries is a great place for hangout and gatherings.
