My traditional mum tried something unconventional -_-

It's Winter solstice today, according to Chinese calendar.

The Chinese (southern China's descendant, to be exact) would normally eat Tangyuan on this day.

So, my mum tried something different this year:

1)Pink colour Tangyuan was replaced by the purple colour one - made from dragon fruit (??!)(and it's not sweet at all)

Palm reading Tangyuan making session

2) The soup - she used gula melaka. The colour is strange already (but gives me an idea to try Tangyuan in Coke next time :P) and yet not that sweet.
Her reason was "sweet ah, why wanna eat so sweet?"

But I'm not complaning, mum :)

冬至快樂!
