Winter Solstice, 冬至

冬至, Winter Solstice Festival - a big day for the Chinese to get together, making and eating of tangyuan, 汤圆.

This is one of Jane's favourite traditional Chinese dessert and she used to make them with ama when she was young.
This year, she insists to try on her own. She started with the simplest type, unfilled tangyuan served with a sweet broth. She has Michy to help her to roll the dough into small balls. I can see these 2 young pretty ladies were having fun.
She also cooked chicken rice without taking my help. I was so impressed the way she and Michy cut the apples, cucumber, onions and chillies for the salad. The best part is that they did not mess up the kitchen. The kitchen is kept so clean after the cooking except an unexpected accident caused by me, this "lao tai po" =p
Oooopsss.....I m sorry.....
Let's see the food....
The tangyuan are too big and tasteless, but it's a very good start, good try...
The chicken rice, the chicken, the salad....emm..... yummy!!!
O.o, we forgot to take pics of the rice and the salad, not very keen in taking photos....

Rich, the food she cooked may not turn out as well, but she has spent the whole morning in it with love and passion. She told me that you have been working very hard in shop, must give you some home-cooked food rather than all the time eating cheap stuff. "Sayang" you oh!!!
Both of you are still young. Keep learning of whatever is part of growing up.
May you have sweet memories of growing up together....
Love u 2....
