  Dong Zhi lai le~!
  
  once again, it's the occasion to eat tang yuan (ah balling).
  
  so peeps, how would you prefer your tang yuan to be?
  
  me eat all kinds, but favs are
  
  tang yuan:
  1) Sesame
  2) Yam
  
  base:
  1) peanut soup
  2) dao huay
  
  already asked mummy to buy sesame tang yuan and canned peanut soup to cook. Come to think of it.. how come I never see mango, lychee, durian, birds nest tang yuan before har? unlike mooncakes.
  
  still remember those younger days.. mummy taught us how to prepare home-made tang yuans.. roll the dough (white or pink) into a small ball on the palm, then cook with brown sugar and pandan leaf.
  
  wonder how many ple still eat home-made tang yuan.. my family dun do that anymore.. due to certain traditions..
