Today is the Winter Solstice or 'Dongzhi' for the year. Most of the time, the 'Dongzhi' would be on December 22 of the year but this year, this big day is fallen on December 21, 2008. Heard from the radio station few days back, the reason for this is because this year, 2008 is a leap year with 29 days in February. Hence the 'Dongzhi' is one day earlier by date after all.
As usual, our family will have a simple reunion lunch together. 5 of us gather together to enjoy the lunch with chicken, pork, vege and of course 'tangyuen'. I enjoyed eating the 'tangyuen' very much. I think this is solely because I only have the chance to taste it once after missing it for one year. The chicken that cooked by my mom is the one that that bought from Liza. It costs us RM45.00 per bird but is worth to eat coz is 'homefed' typed. Healthier, I think. We also booked another one for Chinese New Year Eve. Hope the 'stock' is available during CNY eve lo.
The chicken... looked nice!!
