Whenever I am dining in the Chinese restaurants, I always looking forward to braised peanuts that usually serves as snacks to customers. This is all-time favourite for most people.

For readers who reside in Singapore, do you remember the white cake that is snowy white in colour, sweet in taste, hard in texture but melt in your mouth and notably, wrapped in the pink paper wrapper?

I would consider this as my first time making the Glutinous Rice Balls for the winter solstice (冬至), in particular the Naturally Coloured Glutinous Rice Balls 七彩汤圆.
