Klang Klang Ball

I didn't realise 冬至 / 过冬 / winter solstice is just around the corner till I received a SMS greetings yesterday night from my friend.

Since I still have a packet of glutinous rice flour in the kitchen, I will play around with the dough. Last year I came out with Sweet Potato Tangyuan. Mmmm... This year, I want to made something different too - the traditional round marble sized tangyuan (汤圆) seems like too plain, too ordinary... or might be too boring? And I come up with this... All the weird shapes & sizes.. Hahaha... (Psss.. I don't like to follow traditions).

This is how the cooked multi-shaped "tangyuan" looks like ;) Aren't they cute? Better don't let those poh-poh or any grandma sees this, else they will start shouting or yelling or giving long winded lectures :P

I know Winn will say this looks like fishball.. Or.. LB might say this looks like klang klang balls?

Happy Winter Solstice

I don't put any artificial colouring all these while. The green, blue, pink or whatever colour looks scary as what u mentioned :) Sweet stuff is for little kids only. Adults don't have to eat so sweet, right? Hehhehe :D
