Dumpling Festival & The mystery of the standing eggs

Yesterday was a special day, Duan Wu Jie (in mandarin)! According to story a Chinese poet was lost in the river worrying for his remains eaten by sea creatures the villages threw some sort of dumpling into the river so the sea creatures will not harm his remains! (okay I made that up)

But one thing for sure after century of dumping foods onto the river we realize we should just eat the dumpling instead. ROFL

I’m sure you’ll love it too…

The next most exciting story would be the standing eggs! Have you tried it? check out my video on standing egg!

So what do you think, amazing isn’t it? You can try it too, here’s your tip… you can try it on the very first day of the spring or autumn.

Why is it possible? Actually it’s more of the surface are pointing directly at the sun on these day and gravity make standing egg possible.

Happy trying and good luck.
