Yummy!!!! Colorful Tang Yuan...Can I have one, please? Some of you may be thinking what is that? Is there such a day? Well, if you are a Chinese then probably you will know...It is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians...Erm, it has something to do with end-of-harvest festival...
My mum always said that Dongzhi is more important than Chinese New Year...Well, I dunno how true it is, but well, since it is part of the Chinese culture, so be it...
During this time, most family members will go back and have a good dinner together and especially ended with TangYuan...TangYuan is made from glutinous rice and cooked and served in boiling water...It can has a variety of color from pink, white, green and a mixture of others and the flavors can be sweet or sour...
I still remembered when I was small, I used to play around with it...It can be from small to big of the sizes...It is fun to play around with, but behind this TangYuan it has a meaning...It means Tuen Yuen...I dunno whether the spelling is correct or not, but is something like getting together or united...
Well, I guess I will not be able to around with my family again to celebrate this meaningful festival as I am in KL while my parents, in Ipoh...I deeply regret for not able to celebrate it like the good old days with them...Sitting down together on the dining table, having a few good dishes and each one a bowl of TongYuan, but I will always remember it...
Wish my father, my mother and my sister, who is working in Singapore, healthy and happy always...I will always love you guys and thanks for being there for me throughout the time...Lotsa hugs and kisses for you all!!!!
