Weekends is coming, we are glad to share you some happy moment in our life. This year's June 25 is our Dragon Boat Festival, it is also May 5th in Chinese lunar year.  

Interested about how we celebrate it?

Eating sticky rice dumpling (Zongzi), racing dragon boats, and decorate our doors with some herbs are the main activities.

Zongzi is made with sticky rice with different kind of fillings  (according to personal preferences) and wrapped by reed or bamboo leaves. The calories is about 195 kcal per 100 grams. Want to try it over the weekends? check this recipe! 

Do you know why we decorate our doors with herbs? They are a kind of Chinese traditional medicine and are believed to expel evil spirit, so it's a symbol for good luck. During this special COVID time, we wish you good health and good luck too.
