This coming 22nd, it will be a very important date for all the Chinese as weare celebrating Dong Zhi @ Winter Solstice Festival @ Tang Yuan Festival. So for this study week, I think there'll be a lot of Chinese students going back to their hometown, including me.
The Dongzhi Festival is also a time for the family to get together. One activity that occurs during these get togethers (especially in the southern parts of China and in Chinese communities overseas) is the making and eating of tangyuan (湯圓) or balls of glutinuous rice, which symbolize reunion. Tangyuan are made of glutinuous rice flour and sometimes brightly coloured. Each family member receives at least one large tangyuan in addition to several small ones. The flour balls may be plain or stuffed. They are cooked in a sweet soup or savoury broth with both the ball and the soup/broth served in one bowl.
This food is halal, so if u guys want to try it, go ahead!
