Winter Solstice
I have totally forgotten that tomorrow is Winter Solstice @ Dong Zhi (冬至/过冬) till I visited Air Itam market this evening (for few bowls a bowl of pipping hot mouth watering delicious air itam longkang laksa) and saw several road side stalls selling the colourful GRB (glutinous rice ball) or tang yuen next to the market. Time really flies. It's the time of the year again...
I haven't made any fish ball tang yuen yet. Will only do so tomorrow (I still have half a packet of glutinous rice flour). The above glutinous rice ball or tang yuen photo was taken during my brother's wedding end of last month, and yeah, I made those tang yuen. ;)

How many tang yuen u sapu yesterday?
Someone say hoh, u have to eat the number of tang yuen according to your biological age :)
If that is the case, i wonder how a 80 years old grandma going to chew and swallow 80 tang yuen :P
pink cotton,
Wanted to bring u wan, but yr stay in Penang is too short lei. The femes longkang laksa stall only opens after noon woh, and u r busy shopping that day prior to flying back home in the evening :P
My MIL insist that I have to take 8
I guess it is for 好预头？
In the olden days we would associate the eating of tang yuen or sii yian with the coming of Christmas. As kids we used to say that Zhong Guo Ren ate tang yuen and hong mou ren ate Christmas turkey/Christmas cake...and then asked what would it make us if we ate both?
In some years we only had tang yuen for both of festivals and carolling visits.
This year I am making tang yuen twice. Once for the Dong Zi and once for Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...
Happy Winter Solstice!
I had tang yuan yesterday from my ex-colleague, yummy... :)
Ha ha, Ayer itam longkang laksa! Happy holidays and Merry Xmas to you!

I saw the cutest picture frame today. It reminded me of AhBoy as it was a pinscher holding up the frame. Really cute.
Big hugs to you!
Wishing you and all those you love, a very Merry Christmas!
LOL! at first i thought how come u use those 'traditional red tray' to serve your tang yuen, looks like it was taken during a wedding ah..

so outdated, right?
lol
by the way, merry christmas~!
Oh no... I miss it again this year. I think I only 25 years old only since my last eat on it when I was that age... LOL
yenjai,

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year :)
Selba,
Happy Winter Solstice, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Selba
(3-in-1 greetings, LOL)
There's one version of tang yuen which i haven't eat for ages.. Tang yuen cooked with pork & vegetable soup. Used to have it during my secondary school days in the past :)
pete,
Air Itam longkang laksa is the best (my personal opinion lah, although others might differ) :)
I thought of eating the laksa again today.. But i guess there will be a huge crowd there since it's long weekend. :P
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Pete :)
kok,
I did made some tang yuen that day. Ate some at home & bring some over to father in law's house and had some there too :)
The tang yuen in the post was made during my brother's weddding. We use the red colouring, hence it's red :P
misti,
Wah, did u manage to eat any tang yuen at the end? There are several stalls selling tang yuen the day before the festival. I also see the ready made dough sold in the supermarket. Just had to made it into balls before cooking :)
Can, u can bring two big big bowls. Can made some for u if u r staying near by. Too bad Ah Boy cannot eat tang yuen. Sked he kena cekik by the tang yuen (if he didn't chew the tang yuen properly before swallowing) :)
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to u too. Hopefully next year will be a better year for u, and your business will prosper, and u can get more free time & deserved rest.:)
red sponge,
Lately kinda lazy to write & update post. Should have written a post for Christmas too, but too pre occupied with other stuff :)
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to u, Baby Cola & CCW. Muacks :)
