At a Chinese village for lunch

I do not like my photo to be taken but my colleagues and I were checking out the Chinese New Year decorations at the mall where we work and Berjaya Times Square has really outdone itself this year, and so why not, I thought. 

Its decoration theme is a Chinese village with shops and stalls and carts and produce stands. Visitors are allowed to immerse themselves into the scenes for their photos to be taken. 

This is my favourite shot. What would you suggest as a caption?

Dong Zhi Festival


It's the Dong Zhi Festival today and it has been quite a few years since I have had tong yuen as my mother in-law had not celebrated it since the demise of my father in-law. 

We asked her out for a simple dinner this evening and we were served with it, which is good. It's simple tong yuen with no filling but it brings backs good memories of kinship and family. 

We had a good meal complete with a fabulous bottle of Penfolds Bin 138, one of the better wines I've tasted.
