Winter Solstice

Not sure when is the exact date, but I think Dongzhi, the Winter Solstice Festival is around this time. A friend called to wish Happy Dongzhi just now. I know some families have big reunion dinners during Dongzhi.

My mum used to make Tangyuen (glutinuous rice balls in sweet soup) around this time. Inspired by the tasty Tangyuen we ate during Tony's wedding dinner last weekend, I decided to try make some this week. Made a first batch on Tuesday... but didn't know how to wrap the gula Melaka fillings properly, and they all leaked.

The second batch today looked better... coz I made all plain ones. Hehehe.

Happy Dongzhi Festival, and a bowl of delicious Tangyuen for you. Play the Winter Sonata if you like.
