the longest day in the year

Happy Longest Day of the Year.
Chinese folk celebrate the Winter Solstice – Dong Zhi 冬至 – by eating glutinous riceballs in sweet (or savoury) soup, but hey, there’s the flipside Xia Zhi 夏至 as well that often goes uncelebrated.
Perhaps I should have some of that ice-cream with little riceballs on them to celebrate. They now have an outlet that sells that at Great World City. Interestingly enough, there are now 4 coffee joints there – Spinelli, Mac Cafe, Coffee Bean and now Starbucks. They all serve crap tea.
Longest day or not, it’s another day. We should all be happy.
