9th September 2011, its the first day of Sarawak Inter-Cultural Moon Cake Festival year 2011 at Carpenter Street. This year, I have heard that this festival only last for four (4) days.
Have in mind what to expect, we planned to get there before 7pm where there is still available lights which would be great for picture opportunities as I don't plan to bring flash gun along and armed with Canon 1DMII + EF50mm f1.8.
Got there, We are surprise to see that there is not as many stall as last year. Reason maybe its only last four days, that were just my guessing. We continue on to hunt for the German Sausage Stall, sadly didn't see them there this year.
Tourist trying the "sio bee" sort of like Mince Port Steam Dumpling.
