Tang Yuan, a sort of dessert made by glutinous rice flour, comes with varieties of colors.
Depending on the person making it, those who still hang on to the tradition still choose to use natural ingredients over colorings.

Tang Yuan (the dessert) has a similar pronunciation to Tuan Yuan (a reunion) in Chinese which has the meaning of having a group of people reunited happily.

團 (tuan): means a group

圓 (yuan): means to reunite, a reunion

According to some information that I found, Tang Yuan is made round shaped because it is believed that everything will go smoothly, sweet and round without any conflict, representing a balanced harmonious life.
It is also this day that this dessert will be savored as a complete family.

Though this time round, we were not able to celebrate together eating Tang Yuan (due to grandpapa's memorial ceremony) in our hometown, but I managed to make them today.

I am a Super Big Fan of 고구마 (sweet potato), thus, its sweet potato Tang Yuan that I made today.

Though it might not look scrumptiously appealing, it sure does taste good (provided you have the peanut filling inside. Not for me though, I am no big fan of both peanut and sugar :p )

Remember to spend more time eating with your family and relatives no matter how busy or how far of a distance you are.
