Local actress Yvonne Lim celebrated this year’s festival with a mini barbecue party with her family along with Hong Huifang, Zheng Geping and their son Calvert Tay. Former Mediacorp actress Ivy Lee also joined in on the festivities through a FaceTime call.  

In her Instagram post, she shared that in Taiwan, having BBQs are more common than carrying lanterns.

With a desire to combine both traditions, Yvonne spent a night with her kids having BBQ, lantern lighting, mooncakes and pomelos.

Following a family tradition, actress Sheila Sim had dinner with her loved ones, taking to Instagram to share a post of their day out with baby Layla.

Of course, mooncakes are a must and should be included in the celebrations. But actress Joanne Peh added a little twist to the popular snack and instead made it a “learning and exploratory” activity with her kids. 

She and her kids not only made lanterns but also clay mooncakes. While the activity was meant for the little ones to enjoy, Joanne shared that all the adults ended up having a go at it as well.
