Today is the day where families will get-together and eat tong yun, a sweet dessert made from glutinous rice balls. Today is the day where everyone becomes 1 year older. So, what does Dong Zhi means? Simply, it means winter has arrived.
I remember seeing my Grandma busy in the kitchen making the glutinous rice dough, preparing the filling for the tong yuns and making the sweet soup the goes with it. She will then colour the dough and from what I know, red represents good luck and white represents prosperity.
Here's a photo of my humble tong yun..
Happy Thang Check, everyone!!!
