I'm the master of glutinous rice ball!

Glutinous rice ball! Glutinous rice ball! Anyone wanna buy glutinous rice ball?
Yes, yes, yes! I have tasty glutinous rice ball on sale!
Haha!
Anyway, Happy "Dong Zhi" (have no idea what dong zhi in english, paiseh ar)!
But of course what's the meaning of it!
It's an important day for chinese!
Know why?
Nah, most of the people (i mean chinese) still eating glutinous rice ball in this special day!
But why this glutinous rice ball so important?
Glutinous rice ball is round in shape, meaning reunion.
In the ancient time, chinese believe that "Dong Zhi" is the most important day in a year (even more important than chinese new year o!).
And i think some chinese nowadays still believe that "after eating glutinous rice ball, you'll gain one year old"! So cute right! Anyway, i insist of gaining one year old only after my birthday! Haha!
Tadah~ Show you some photos i took when i was making the glutinous rice ball!



Firstly, you need to have this glutinous rice dough...

Next, you need to have some fillings in the glutinous rice ball! Depends on your favourites la! We like to have "gula melaka" in it!


Get some dough in you hand...

Put your fillings in it...


This is important step to make a round glutinouis rice ball!


Tadah! This is it!

While we were still making the glutinous rice ball, some of them already melted...


Ok then put the glutinous rice balls into your favourite soup! Here, our soup was cooked with "gula melaka" again and pandan leaves! Some people like to put ginger in it. It's a nice choice as well. Anyway, depends on how sweet you would like to eat la!
