Aunt Shirley, I heard the Yuan Miao Festival is the name for the festival. Why did it get its name?
Well, the first lunar month is called Yuan-month, and in ancient times people called night Miao. And you know the festival is just in the middle of the month.
Oh, I see. I also heard today is the last day for the street fair. Can't wait to sample all the snacks.
Sure. It's indeed a culinary heaven which offers a wide range of delicious snacks to satisfy all tastes. Then, which one would you like?
Can you recommend some must-try?
OK. Let's go over there. For the Lantern Festival, you should never omit the Yuanxiao.
What's that? It gets the name from the festival itself. That's really funny!
Actually, they are small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. They are like Tangun.
Oh, I know Tangyuan. It's a sweet snack, good for dessert.
Yes. And also, we can find Yuanxiao with both sweet and salty fillings.
I'd like to try the salty ones. Where does that strange smell come from?
Oh, the smelly bean curd. My favorite!
