Kelly Chen carries a large “basket” when making mooncakes

Although Kelly Chen is pregnant, it seems that she has been working non-stop. She has been recording her new mandarin album, as well as filming commercials. Deciding to be like the rest of the working women, Kelly only arranged for a 10 week maternity leave. This is a large contrast compared to other pregnant stars who decide to stop work and rest at home once they are pregnant.

Kelly is already eight months pregnant.  At eight months, the baby can be born at anytime. Kelly said that her belly is large like a “basket”. Recently, she has been having the sudden urge to eat durians or avacadoes. When she is riding in a car or a boat, she is starting to get motion sickness. However, she continues to be the spokesperson for Mei Xin Mooncake. This is their third year cooperating. In order to provide Kelly with an adequate amount of time to prepare for childbirth, they filmed to commercial at an earlier time.

The storyline behind this years commercial focusses on Kelly learning how to make mooncake. After filming the commercial, Kelly realized that making mooncakes is not an easy task. She said, “Making a good mooncake requires a lot of knowledge. Knowledge is required when choosing the lotus, egg yolk, wrapping, etc. When inserting the ingredients into the mold, we have to sprinkle flour into the mold first, etc, etc. It really is very complicated. Still, I wish to be able to make a box of mooncakes by myself. I think it would be a very thoughtful gift”.

The designer for the commercial especially arranged for the pregnant Kelly to wear flat shoes and loose clothing. Kelly said, “Filming this time has been very comfortable. The crew even provided many snacks, fruits and magazines for me”.
