The Dōngzhì Festival :)



The Dōngzhì Festival also known as Winter Solstice Festival; Chinese: 冬至 :)


DongZhi is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese on December 22 every year ;D
Activity that occurs during this festival is the making and eating of tangyuan(湯圓). Well,I love tangyuan; so call tong yuen in Cantonese :P 

Uhm,For those who have a sweet tooth. Tangyuan is a Chinese dessert made from glutinous rice flour with colours.(pink,green,purple,yellow and etc). Glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked in boiling water and served with brown sugar sweet soup with a piece of ginger. Tangyuan can be either filled or unfilled with fillings. ;) 

UGH,too bad I didn't snap any pic of tangyuan :O 
I ate a lot y'know?! x) hahaha. till I forget to snap picture. eheheheh :P clap*

Have you eaten your tangyuan yet? ;D

Lastly, Happy Dong Zhi Festival people!! <3 
冬至快乐吖!
