Messing around. Us kids wldnt know how to make tang yuan right?
After reachin home last night, we passed by 五叔公's hse & saw that everyone is gathered inside. Wat happen? Oh...they are all busy 搓汤圆 cos 2moro is 东至.
Celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians, this is so when the sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest.
Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers is the making and eating of Tangyuan (湯圓), or balls of glutinuous rice, which symbolize reunion.
Tangyuan are made of glutinuous rice flour and sometimes brightly coloured. The flour balls may be plain or stuffed. They are cooked in a sweet soup or savoury broth with both the ball and the soup/broth served in one bowl.
Lionel & Rachel wishing all: A Happy "Dong Zhi" Festival!
