Happy Winter Solstice ~ 冬至快乐

Happy Winter Solstice & 冬至快乐,

Today, i declare holiday for myself,

After work very bored in the office quite a long time,

I realise that today is Zhong Zhi,

I am thinking to make some Tong Yuen, 汤圆,

I go to shopping for a while after settle some important stuffs,

I bought some items as below:

Peanut butter, Glutinous Rice flour, & Vanila flavour

After mixing up water with flour, it is time to start make ball,

First time, i try to put some peanut butter inside.

I don't know how the taste it, i will find some white mouse to test it.

After 10 minutes, i manage finish making all the Tong Yuen,

It is time to cook it.

I mix up the Tong Yuen with Apples, Red Zhi, & Watermelon Strips,

Each things have its own meanings,苹果

Tong Yuen ~ 汤圆 = Family Reunion ~ 一家团圆,

Apples ~ 苹果 = Live peacefully ~ 平平安安,

Red dates ~ 红枣 = Money come ~ 鸿运当头,

Watermelon Strips (sweet) = Sweet & happily ~甜甜乐乐

I hope after eat all the best for coming new years.

Want to eat?

It is quite a long time i never eat Tong Yuen,

When i am kid, i like to eat Tong Yuen,

As what i know, i will grow up 1 year older,

I want to grow up fast hence i eat a lot,

My mummy told me: "How old are you going to be, then you can eat that amount!"

At that moment, i am envy my grandmother,

Why? Because she can eat 50 ball Tong Yuen that moment,

Today, i make Tong Yuen so my daughter can eat,

And, She is going to 2 years old soon,

She is grow up and we (parent) grow older,

I cannot stop my ages at 18 years old anymore.
