Happy Winter Solstice Festival

My mom woke up at around 5am to make these colourful glutinuous rice balls this morning. The whole house was filled with the aroma of pandan leaves which she added into the pot of sugar water.  I just had some rice balls and Ashley only wants the pink ones, of course.  Have you had your ‘tang yuen’ already?
