Solstice Festival

We happened to be in Chinatown during the Winter Solstice festival. One of the things that amazes me in Singapore is the way people are willing to queue in order to eat from a specific booth at the foodcourt, get inside that tiny rundown restaurant, or in this case, get a portion of TangYan, the special food eaten on that day:

will you grasp the size of the queue.... I am standing in the middle of it, and you cannot even see the booth!
Back to our topic, because I know you are wondering, we did have Tang Yan, we sat at an eating place nearby, where the owner had provisionally gotten enough supplies. Cannot say I really liked it (taste was good, but the texture was funny), but as you suspect, we ate all of it, because it was the grafic thing to do!
