Got to write this down before I forget. Want to write about how I spent this Yuen Siu, the 15th day in the Chinese New Year. Never have the time. And right now, my brain cannot work on my statistics or anything else. So, better do blogging.

Had a Tang Yuan party with friends. Very interesting. Three of them are ABC. One from Beijing and one from Harbin. We had dumpling and two types of Tang Yuan.

I am not sure, but I only had Tang Yuan of a uniform size in Hong Kong. But people in the north have two types of Tang Yuan. One big and one small. The big type is the same as the one in Hong Kong. But the small one is like the size of a penny made into a sphere.

The big type is called Tang Yuan and the small is called Yuen Siu. You have to bear with me. I don't actually know how to say Yuen Siu in Mandarin, not to mention about the pinyin.

So, I actually learn more about Chinese food here. :)
