My grandma used to make it a big deal every year to celebrate Tang Ceh as they call it in hokkien,to the point of giving up family trips because it always clashes with Christmas time.I bet there are interesting meanings to why they make some of the tong yuens bigger since it is to symbolise the breaking of winter.I remember there used to be like the mother of all tong yuen and two lil ones stuck to the entrance of the door each year.Actually i might have asked this question before.Woops..forgot the answer.Miss ah mah's bouncy and chewy tong yuen...but i guess those readymade ones would have to do.Note to self: learn to make bouncy tong yuen for next year.hehe.
