tang yuan ♨

The Winter Solstice Festival or Dong Zhi 冬至 is one of the most important Chinese festivals which is celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians between the 20th to 22nd December. During this time, the sunshine is the weakest, the day is the shortest and the night is the longest. Dong Zhi actually means that the winter was going to end soon. Why the Chinese were celebrating the festival, what so great about it???? According to the ancestors, we were celebrating it because the end of winter indicating the the spring was ahead. The farmers were able to back to their farm and working hard again, keep on producing food for the people again. That's why they were celebrating the festival. During the festival a special food must be eaten on that day called Tang Yuan.
The colourful Tang Yuan was my personal favourite during the festival. I enjoying eating it very much because of it's sweetness and the chewiness. During my younger age, my 'wai po' grandma used to tell me that eating Tang Yuan indicating we are one year older. They are some kind of story saying that we should chew the balls, we must swallow the whole things. well, if u can swallow then do so.. if u can't, please chew due to you might choke yourself .. bwahahaha xDDD
Traditionally, Tang Yuan are just plain colourful glutinous rice balls but nowadays they are readily available  with peanut, red bean paste and black sesame fillings.  Personally, I still prefer the authentic plain ones. hehe ~
haha ~ ate 'tang yuan' so much ^^ yummy ♨
