Before ended up my writing, a belated greetings for my bloggers, a healthy Snake year!
Some sweet moment to share, it's Chinese Valentine's Day (元宵節) a day before and i cooked this for my hubby.

| Tang-yuan, sweet dumplings with black sesame ( 湯圓) |

I add my personal favour which the small plate hold: Osmanthus (桂花). I already added into another boiling bowl filled with water & ginger, then add this dried flower and finally with the rock sugar or dark brown sugar. It has an attractive warm fresh charming fragrance. According to some readings, it serves efficiency of cough, phlegm and health lungs, and relieve dry mouth and gastrointestinal discomfort.
On the other side, wait until it's fully cooked in another saucepan to avoid the leakage of black sesame fillings.
The sweet dumplings, Tang-yuan homophonic family union, symbolize unity and happiness.
I remember on the same day of Chinese Valentine's day, is also a teddy bear event in UK, i read a
post ,
which makes my day. Thank you.
