Summer solstice 夏至

Yesterday was called 'Winter Solstice" in Lunar calendar,

which small glutinous balls are served with sweet syrup.

In Mandarin, we call it "tang yuan", while we call it 'xiak yen' in Hakka. 

Probably going to make it during weekend.... if not too lazy。。。haha

Also miss muachi or 糍粑'qi bah'..... springy texture of the glutinous rice, covered with roasted peanuts, icing sugar...oh DAMN!  *drooling all over the keyboard* XP

It's winter solstice for the northern hemisphere, but in Aus, it's FREAKING HOT! haha... not a bad thing at all though. LOVE YOU SUNSHINE!

By the way, I went fishing with a few friends at a creek during last weekend, and I got an EEL!

Planning to do an 'Unagi Don' or 鳗鱼饭 whenever I'm free. *hopefully*

Used to order them whenever I got the chance to dine in a Japanese restaurant...which is rare~

My housemate cooked half of it yesterday night as dinner..... and he made them into a pot of soup bunjut (Malay spriced soup) However, he added nothing to get rid of the muddy flavour (cause it's a freshwater eel). The result was... erhm.... after 12 hours eating the eel, the muddy smells still lingering around my mouth... >  < !!!

till here then.
Life's always about food.... chao!
