KTG Mooncake Dice Game 2014

November 2, 2014 by Richard

KTG Mooncake Dice Game Prizes

The KTG (our little group of foodie friends) held a Mooncake Dice Game last month. The mooncake dice game is a Filipino-Chinese tradition celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with a get together and a game filled with overflowing prizes. Players throw six dice on a bowl and they get a corresponding prize depending on the combination that comes up.

I actually planned most of it, with help from Jane who secured generous sponsors. Some sponsors provided prizes while others provided food items. We had a wide range of prizes from soda, juices, notepads, pens and all sorts of chocolates and snacks.

There was quite a number of us, almost 40 so I decided to do two playing tables. Everyone drew lots to find out which table they were assigned to as well as their order in the line.

Chef Korinne of Orange Whisk provided boxes of her signature chewy bun, now minified which made them all the more addictive. I felt they were even better than the regular sized ones as you just pop one after another.

We had pack lunches, Beef Pot Roast with rice and buttered vegetables,  provided by Gracey’s Gourmet Kitchen. This was pretty good even though it was not hot anymore when we ate it. The beef was tender and the sauce was perfect for the rice. Gracey’s Kitchen is known for their Caviar pie and Valhrona cupcakes, you can order thru 0922-894 5148.
