The only chance to taste Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy & Savoury Glutinous Rice Balls!
As the year end draws close, we are also fast approaching Winter Solstice Festival or Dōngzhì (冬至) Festival. This important festival on 21 December 2016 is traditionally celebrated with family and friends by eating sweet glutinous rice balls to symbolise family unity and prosperity.
This Winter Solstice, Chinatown Food Street (CFS) invites you to pay homage to the year that has passed by recapping and embracing the ups and downs you have experienced through its
one-of-a-kind four-flavoured glutinous rice ball offerings.
Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy (酸, 甜, 苦, 辣) Glutinous Rice Balls
On Saturday 17 December 2016, CFS will introduce for the first time, a unique creation of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy (酸, 甜, 苦, 辣) tang yuan dessert as well as a savoury glutinous rice ball dish to celebrate Dōngzhì.
You will be able to taste the various flavours such as sweetness and tanginess creatively infused into each tang yuan. Consuming a bowl of these “emotions” will symbolise embracing the good and banishing the bad!
Family Fun at CFS Winter Solstice Workshop
In celebration of Dōngzhì, CFS is also arranging a one-day only complimentary workshop for the young and old to celebrate the festival together!
Participants will be able to enjoy the four-flavoured tang yuan and DIY their very own creative glutinous rice ball. It is also an opportunity to be up close and personal with CFS Executive Chef who will be conducting a cooking demonstration of a savoury glutinous rice ball dish generic lipitor.
