Belated Winter Solstice

If you have read my previous post, I were not able to celebrate my Winter Soltisce on the exact day due to some circumstances. So my lovely mother postpone it to another day. She didn't want to miss it because for the Chinese tradition, Winter Solstice is a very important festival. It symbolizes reunion, where all the family member are to be together. By making the glutinious rice ball or what we call "tang yuan" means reunion and must eat together with the family.

This year my mum tried something new. Tang yuan with fillings. That is why they look very big.

Nicer "tang yuan". Those not very nice are made by the kids. >.<.

Time to cook it before mixing it with the sugar syrup boiled earlier with pandan leaves and ginger.

Ta-da~~ a bowl of yummy homemade "tang yuan".

The "tang yuan" makers...

Even though a lot of things happen this year, but I am glad that I still have my family members supporting me. No matter what happen, they are always there for me.
Happy Winter Solstice!!
