Brown Rice Congee & Mooncake Festival

I slept pretty late yesterday night and woke up early. I felt a bit sick this morning, so I decided to make a congee for lunch. However, I only eat brown rice, so I'll make a brown rice congee.

Let's make brown rice congee together.

The brown rice I'm using is mixed with assorted type of brown rice. I don't really know what kind are there but I really like it being mixed.

Add water into the pot and cook it to boil.

I also added blended ginger into it.

Lol funky face
Salted duck egg is bad but I love it. Just try to resist not to eat too much. so I just ate half. =P

Stir and add water occasionally. I added some pork meat too. The congee will be ready when the pork meat is cooked and the congee turned into creamy texture.
I don't usually put salt in my food, but since I have salted duck egg, my congee should have enough taste to it, but I added a bit of white pepper powder to add a little bit more taste to it.
It tasted really good. My parents and grandma had it for lunch too. ^^
I know a lot of people don't like the texture of the brown rice and they claimed that there's no taste. However, I personally think brown rice taste better. I like the texture of it and it's healthier. so Enjoy!

Mooncake festival was couple days ago. However, my family didn't celebrate it because they were all busy with work, but we decided to have a hotpot tonight. ^^

I don't really like mooncake that much, so we didn't buy any either. Main reason is that they are expensive. so we bought it after the festival. =P
For mooncake, I don't really like getting the White lotus seed paste with eggs mooncake, because I think they are fattening. They are high calories and high cholesterol. However, I really love the Mixed nut's mooncake. 
Picture
The calories are lower and zero cholesterol too. ^^ Try it if you never try it before, but my grandma said young people don't usually like it. She was surprised that I like them lol.

Look at the nuts. They are so good. *nom nom nom*

Anyway, that's it for now. Later.
