Homemade colorful rice ball

Patience is the best remedy.
It doesn't matter on what you're doing, believe in yourself and give a little more patience, always least expectation, no comparison, just beyond yourself.. it will leads you further. Happy new year peeps!

So, as I was mentioning earlier that I wanted to make the ginger bread for Christmas. Right, I forgot about it.
But instead, I made something different. :D
'Tang Yuan' is a Chinese traditional dessert that made from glutinous rice flour, it is usually eaten with family on 'Winter Solstice Day' every year. It can be made from several of flavors, my favorite is pandan soup. :) 
I don't know if you've realized, it tastes better after overnight in the fridge, the texture becomes more sticky, well maybe it's my personal favorite. Haha

However, its difficult to digest when you eat too much and it certainly makes you feel real uncomfortable.  :/

Okay, let's begin the lesson of dessert making..


























The food presentation plays the important role. If your food taste extremely good but lack of decoration, it becomes just another 'normal food'. Nowadays people carry camera everywhere, discovering every corners for good looking food but of course the taste requirement is a must! Oh dear, can you see the hard work?  

So, the ingredient above is what you need. Before



























And after..
You may cook the pumpkin and sweet potato before you blend it. Does it look blissful to you? :D awwww

Mix Mix Mix..

BAHAHA.. remind me of clay I used to play in childhood.

Little niece joined the fun

Coffee flavor anyone???  way gone too far........

We transformed it to something else ;D  

BOOM! Hahaha.. round round
mmm!!

I made mochi too!

Black sesame, cornflakes and sun flower seed. Yumm~

Method: Mashed the ingredient that you wish to fill with the tang yuan, do it when its hot! Served immediately. 

Nothing can describe the hard work we've been through. Its a day where remind you of family, if you're homesick, don't hesitate to make a phone call, they might be busy but always remember a home is build with love and dreams.

Morning sunshine!

I'm stuck in the middle of blogging at the moment, it was my second time of writing this (or repeating this). Don't remember what I've written so I decided to start all over again. Thanks to blogger. Claps* You know.. sometimes you may need the inspiration to write on something. Well, mine has just gone. I may sitting down in front of my computer and think for a couple of hours or maybe just end up nothing. Hmm..

Well, let's back to the topic..

It was a story in York, and it's a beautiful place to visit.
Let the picture tell the story..























Haha. What a cute way to describe.
Had a one day trip to York with my companion- Samantha. :)
Well, I was supposed to go with big, but too bad he was having a tough time with his assignments (he just can't leave). :(  Woke up early in the morning just to sent me to the train station then headed back to sleep.
