This 21 december 2012, my family had celebrated chinese festival as usual,it called Ko Ciet in our hakka languange or Dōngzhì in mandarin and winter soltice festival in english.
Ko Ciet is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the Chinese and other East Asians during the Dongzhi solar term (winter solstice) on or around December 22 when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest, and it occurs on Friday, December 21, 2012.
Our family follow it traditional activities and make balls of glutinuous rice or "wedang ronde" in our languange. Usually wedang ronde are in ball shaped and brightly coloured, but this year i made some cat's paw, love, and rabbit shape in pastel colour :D, So here the recipe
