Lerk Thai @ Changi Airport Terminal 3

Another colleague's farewell lunch and we went to Lerk Thai as it is a Halal restaurant. I ordered the set lunch which came with a main, tom yam soup and drink. My colleague also ordered the set lunch but chose the seafood green curry for the main while I chose the minced chicken with basil. Food generally was good but not authentic or excellent.

Minced Chicken with Basil 4/5

Green Curry Seafood 4/5

Seafood Tom Yam Soup 4/5

Lerk Thai also has a new dessert menu which was quite interesting hence we ordered some to try. The desserts had improved and definitely worth trying.

Dessert Platter 4.2/5

Mango and Glutinous Rice 4.2/5

Homemade Tangyuan (汤圆) for Dongzhi (冬至) Festival

Dongzhi Festival or Winter Solstice Festival is traditionally a time for the family to get together. Traditionally Tangyuan was made and ate during the get togethers. It is made from glutinous rice flour and symbolize reunion.

For my family, it is also a time to worship ancestors. The recipe was passed down to my mum from grandma. I love the homemade Tangyuan from my mum because it was full of color and ingredients. Besides the balls of glutinous rice, there were red dates, dried longgan and gingko nuts.
