I wanna wish all my dear friends and family everywhere in the world a Happy Winter Solstice. Was lucky that I'm currently in holiday otherwise i will miss the chance to celebrate this meaningful festival with my beloved family.
As usual, my family would eat tangyuan during Dongzhi Festival. For those who don't know, Tang yuan is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour. Duh!..who don't know! Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers is the making and eating of Tangyuan, symbolizing family unity and prosperity.
I love this festival because I get to get my hands all dirty because we get to make tangyuan. I find it funny that we celebrate it in Malaysia even though there is no winter here. However, since we're chinese, celebrating this festival is a must. I pity my hubby cuz he couldn't celebrate with his family because he need to work...worst thing is he couldn't eat his mom home made tang yuan. Was thinking of delivering some of my homemade tang yuan to him..wuwuwu..
Usually, people make unfilled pink and white tang yuan with the normal rock sugar and pandan leaves flavour syrup. But mine is different, our family loves colourful tang yuan filled with peanut butter and ginger,sweet potato, as well as pandan leaves and gula melacca flavour syrup.
simply delicious..yummy!
