I still remember during the Dongzhi Festival, my family and I will get together and make tang yuan. It was really a memorable moment for us, as we get to eat it at the end of the day and our efforts are paid off. We also get to eat the one with flavors and I preferred the one with black sesame filings, as it was really delicious! I hope one day I will get to try the one with green tea and yam flavors!
