DongZhi Festival

Here's wishing everyone who celebrates Dong Zhi (冬至) Festival, a very happy winter solstice!

We celebrated this festival by eating red bean tong sui (sweet soup) with tong yuen (glutinous rice balls) at my mother's place one day earlier.

    Same to you. Not a fan of those balls though - hard to bite, chew and swallow - always feel like choking. :(

    I was offered these at dinner yesterday but didn't have any as I don't quite enjoy gooey balls in a sweet soup.

    I have never eaten with red bean soup. It's always with either white or brown sugar syrup.
