There's a pot of glutinous rice balls or tang yuan this morning! It's Dong Zhi again and tang yuan is a must for this occasion. The soft and chewy dessert as usual is served in a sweet syrup and the tang yuan, coloured and round; round, to symbolize wholeness and togetherness. In modern times, tang yuan could far from being round. They could come in the form of figurines featuring cartoon and movie characters. That probably stands for fun!
Can you spot the traditional tang yuan in the video?
Happy Dong Zhi 2022!
