How was it celebrated in Singapore in the past?<\/h2>\n

During the Winter Solstice, some families would pay respects to their ancestors in temples. Offerings are placed in front of the ancestral tablets, which serve as a placard to symbolise the seat of ancestors. Offerings such as steamed buns of different colours and animal shapes were also prepared to represent the family\u2019s thriving livestock.<\/p>\n

During post-war Singapore, one of the treats eaten during the festival is known as koay ee (pulot rice cake) that were sometimes served in treacle. They\u2019re ball-shaped glutinous dough cooked in boiling water, similar to tangyuan that did not have fillings.<\/p>\n
