15th day of Chinese New Year 2010

Being away from home is when we learn to be independent...and try new things, new food! haha

We made the glutinous rice balls together. It is the Chinese tradition to have this dessert on Chinese New Year's eve but we do it on the 15th instead. The main purpose of this dessert is about family unity..in chinese the glutinuous rice ball is called 'tang yuen' so it sounds like 'tuan yuen' means unite together as a whole in happiness. We're not with our family but with friends which brings another meaning 'friendship'!
It was really fun! We put some fillings in the ball...like cane sugar, cheese, Gin (liquor), raisins etc..in all kind of shapes and use milk as the soup! hahaha kind weird but it was good!
