Great balls of Tang Yuen...
Friday, December 22, 2006
hehe I imitated Jerry Lewis's "great balls of fire" for my "great balls of tang yuen". The festival to eat tang yuen is here... I think it's called Winter solstice something about the winter. apparently it's more important than the ever popular Chinese New Year. Why? I don't know... I think I have to ask the coffeeholic for that...
eh.. first up.. tang yuen is balls made of flour , cooked and eaten with sugary water. *that was a really weird definition* Oh regardless it's really nice!
The sad thing is I have a feeling that because of the Western influences Christmas seems to have overtaken this tang yuen festival... =( everyone's talking about Christmas but who's talking bout the tang yuen festival?? Oh well... The tang yuen festival is here so in to my stomach the tang yuen goes...
Oh I have a question. Do U'll prefer ur tang yuen to be big or small in size? I know does in the supermarkets are pretty huge.... Mine ain't big although I mentioned "great balls of tang yuen" as me title. Great..I don't know how to continue... Ah well..
Today is THE "tang yuen" festival and i had to roll them tang yuen's so I can enjoy em myself.. wahahha... :P this time my mum bought 5 colours... *banyaknya* but each one had a little.. not a lot... *my mum doesn't make em, I don't know why... maybe cause it's hard work* So there are 5 colours, bright pink, white, bright yellow, bright green and bright purple. The yellow and purple are new additions this year never bought that colour before.
well 5 colours is already colourful enough and being the playful me I combine some colours to make the tang yuen's more colourful. So in the end I had
- bright green
- light green
- not so bright green yellow
- pale green yellow
- bright yellow
- light yellow
- white
- bright pink
- bright purple
- not so bright pink purple
- pale pink purple
- pale pink
- pale purple
then my mum started complaining why I'm doing so slowly and told me to stop playing... if she hadn't told me so I think the natural colors would have disappeared... hahahha
Oh bought the supermarket tang yuen too... the one with black sesame... One thing I don't like bout the supermarket ones are that they'll burst and teh stuff inside will jsut come out and it's like eating normal tang yuen but with a more flavoured syrup.
Ah well that's it.. jsut here to tell the people how crazy I am over tang yuen's... kakaka... cheerios! Enjoy ur tang yuen's and of course Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!Labels: Gibberish
