Tangyuan i'm mainly for sweet, salty works for me too.

Sweet=Yuanxiao
Salty=Tangyuan
But in fact most Chinese will mix these two words.

Well then go party first, find someone, then enjoy tranquility together ...

After all, the Lantern Festival is also a Chinese Valentines' day ...

Its indeed a great festival my friend and i like it, we will celebrate this festival with you on this forum can you give me the recipe of those rice balls and how does it taste like

My city, ningbo, we make Tangyuan,
First, add proper water into glutinous rice flour till you can sculpture it; then, crash and mixed lad, sugar, Sesame, Osmanthus and make the mixed samll balls as stuffing; last, put the stuffling small balls into wet flour, seal it come out a flour balls but with small stuffling balls in it.

easy to cooking, just pure wate, put a flours ball into water when wate is boiling, don't put them into cool water that flour ball will solve before it cooked . when the flour balls floating it done.

Lantern Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is too cold outside in Wuhan that I'd rather stay at home and make rice balls by myself.
It is a tradition to eat glutinous rice balls named after this festival, Yuanxiao/Tangyuan(元宵/汤圆）

Welcome aboard our QQ chatting space on serious topics. Sadly, you have missed a very interesting discussion on fundamentalism, but we did have a record!


Byw, is it Honeymoon Desserts?

it's 糖不甩, a Cantonese desert.
i think it's basically Tangyuan without soup, plus some nuts &sugar coating....

I like fish&chips, some very good one like Cicerella's in Perth, WA. My homestay family(from UK) told me fish&chips in Australia was better than in UK, isn't it? Although they still speak an excellent BBC English. I tried some Chinese restaurants in Perth. Food was good, don't get me wrong, but not so Chinese, more like a mixture of Chinese and Southeast Asian. Maybe it was because Perth lacks some sorts of Chinatown.

yes....Honeymoon Dessert....i seldom go there...

Crazily pricy, not worth it. 30RMB per person for desserts....I'd rather choose Starbucks, at least it provides larger space and Wifi.(they call seats in Honeymoon seats)
