    Ai Yo Beng Hui
    So clever you. Aunty made half a batch yesterday for one daughter and one son in law. Today another daughter comes back from KL so make the other half portion….

    I make the type your grandfather likes. As you said…so easy loh….

    Hope you have a blessed Christmas and take photos of Uncle Hua Kong’s choir singing the Cantata…and ask your daddy to make YouTube of some of the songs ok? Thanks first.

    i wanted to make a nice tang yuan but somehow i woke up late yesterday so didn’t get to buy the ingredients. i ended up having plain tang yuan, only glutinous rice flour add in a little green colour and boil in pandan leaves for the soup :) happy dong zhi to you!

    I prefer mine with the red bean filling, even though I’m not chinese I love to eat home made tang yuan.
