Hey All! :)
Its Winter Solstice today! Yeah, I finally found out how to say Tong Yun Festival in a more proper way. haha. So, hows your day today? Well, today, my mom barged into my room when I was sleeping soundly [yeah, I sleep for a looooong time] and asked me to do somethings. Well, she asked me to jaga the soup and go make those glutinous rice balls which called Tong Yun [汤圆] in chinese. I took me quite awhile to process what my mom told me because I was sleeping soundly and BAM!
So yeah, I went to do some tong yun. I'm a good girl, I obey my mom's order. If I don't, she'll start to nag and nag and nag. D: Went to the kitchen and yay! My mom prepared everything I need and now I just need to make them into tiny spheres.
Got Pink, Yellow, Orange, Green and White! Pastel colors! HAHAHA
I took my quite awhile to mold all of those into tiny spheres. First I was standing while I was doing it, then my back hurts and I sat on the kitchen table top like a boss with my leg up. My mom came home and saw me sitting like that and she was like GO GET A CHAIR LA. Then I said, I'm comfortable sitting on the top. Then my mom didn't 'choi' me already. :(
After an hour, I got bored and frustrated. So, I simply make la. As long as it's a tiny ball then ok already.
Duo color in the middle! This was the first attempt. Its also my first time making these tiny balls. Not bad right? Pass?
Second attempt. See, I got frustrated and it turn out like that. All the tiny dinosaur eggs. The orange mix white one is quite cute leh. :D
Dual color Marble Glutinous Rice Ball. Ok lah, I named that out of the blue.
Orange Whitey Tiny Dinosaur Egg Glutinous Rice Ball. :)
Then my mom made the soup for the rice balls. I think she put Pandan Leaves and Gula Melaka and then just boil it. Its so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Like this. Sweet stuff.
Put some of smashed peanuts in the Tong Yun ~
AND VOILA !
Tada! :D Well, personally I don't really like to eat them, but my mom gave me so much although I asked her to give me a few only. /_\ Its like so chewy, mushy, chewy and chewy and chewy. But you only get to eat it like once in a year, so why not? :D
Other than that, on this festival, we also had like a family reunion. We gather around and makan makan. :D My mom cooked all the delicious delicacies for the whole afternoon. Yums. My mom also invited my uncle and aunts to come and makan. But my grandma is in Singapore now and my another uncle is busy in the restaurant, so they couldn't come. :( Or else there will be more people! The more the merrier! :D
Kau Yok ! Its like stew pork and yam. :9 My mom spend hours making it. It taste good. OMG. I'm feeling hungry now. :/
Steam fish, chicken, stir fry mix vegetables. All yums !
and Stir Fry Prawns! Yummyyyyyyyy :D
And yeah. :D Dinner with the fam and talk and talk and eat eat eat. But I didn't eat much because my stomach was being an ass. Got alot of gas inside till I feel full. :/ And I also have to attend a Early Christmas Party at my friend's apartment. Will blog about the party either tomorrow or some other day! So stay tune ! :)
