I know that every year end we will have the ‘tang yuan’. When I were still staying with my parent, mom will surely start to prepare them when the time comes. I never bother to know when it is, but I just know Chinese New Year is coming soon. The mood is good. New clothes and new shoes. Year end, you can feel and smell the CNY wind blowing too. I love the wind smell a lot.
This year, Hubby and I thought we should let Koko and Didi learn the making of ‘tang yuan’. We didn’t follow much on tradition stuff as both of us are not aware too. New generation I guess. As not to fully loss all the tradition, we think we should let Koko and Didi to have some feel of it. So, we just get a packet of glutinous rice flour and some food for colouring. My mom always has only 2 colours for her ‘tang yuan’ ; red and white. For me, I just prepare the pandan leave – green and sweet potato – orange. I didn’t manage to get the dragon fruit –red. There are 3 colours for our ‘tang yuan’.
Koko in action.
Koko is my superb helper.
While Didi has the instinct, it’s food. First thing he did was to taste it.
This is what we have at the end. One plate from Koko.
The final result.
