冬至快乐

Happy Winter Solstice Festival! To Chinese people all over the world celebrating this festival, here's wishing all of you a happy time getting together with your families and eating Tang Yuan (glutinous rice balls).

Glutinous rice balls made by my sister: Small ones without fillings. Big ones with black sesame fillings.

We eat the glutinous rice balls with red bean broth (sweet).

  2. Good morning Jennifer, thanks! Yes, I remember reading that your mother made Tang Yuan just for you when you were back in Ipoh recently - what a sweet mother that you have :) Today are you celebrating this festival with your in-laws?

  5. Sorry Jennifer, I didn't know your in-laws are still in mourning and can't celebrate any festivals.

  6. I like the pink color ones just because they are in pink. hehehe... but overall, my favorite is the black sesame;)

    I didn't eat any tong yuen for the last dongzhi... totally forgot about it:( There's no "movement" here in this part of the world.
