Eh, you didn't help?

For the coins...
one open, one close = yes
both close = no
both open = laughing, etc. lol...

Ofcourse I did. I documented first then I helped roll the dough ler. Anyway after about half an hour of rolling, my second aunt, my eldest cousin sister and my cousin brother went out to the living room to watch One in a Million leaving my eldest aunty, myself and my younger cousin sis to do all the rolling on our own.

The texture is akin to marshmallows, albeit more chewy (Very).

I remember when I was in primary school, one of my cousins made a penis shaped Tang Yuen without any adults noticing.

After that my cousin tried to eat it himself. The look of his face when trying to eat that Tang Yuen = priceless

That aside, am I the only one here who doesn't like to eat Tang Yuen? I only eat satu biji every year because my mom forces me to eat it

LOL!! Is he gay?

Is it so bad? It's actually more or less tasteless what. It's the "soup" that matters the most, I think.

I know a lot of people who makes just half-decent tang yuen probably the reason why you don't like it haha.(no offence to your mum though )The trip to the temple clearly showed how disgusting tang yuen can be to look yet, i shudder to think how they would taste like.

Tang yuen, when made correctly should have a similar texture to the japanese mochi and is sweet due to the sugar syrup. least, that's my opinion of good tang yuen.

i've tasted some really bad ones which have as much texture as a soggy wad of cotton and tasteless syrup. blech. Probably the result of immediately dropping the just-rolled balls into the boiling water. tang yuen loses it's shaped and rubbry texture when boiled for too long. That's what my aunt told me anyway.

I never know there are good and bad Tang Yuen They all look and taste the same to me that's what I always thought.
