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).

    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?

    Unfortunately no. We can't celebrate this year since the grandma passed away in Aug...but anyway, as long as I still got to eat, I'm happy...hehe

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

    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.

    Hi Elizebeth, next year I'll leave a comment on your blog one week before dongzhi to remind you, ok? :) Should be able to get frozen ones from Chinese supermarket, right?
