Dragon's Beard Candy (龍鬚糖)

   Do you remeber that I have introduced foreign cotton candy before? Today, I would like to introduce cotton candy too, but this is chinese cotton candy, which is called Dragon's beard candy(龍鬚糖). Did you taste it in your childhood? Dragon's beard candy is in my top ten of my favourite snacks. You must taste it at least once.

   Aucally,  Dragon's beard candy is a traditional chinese sweet, and  it has been invented for the emperor about 2,000 years ago. Thus, it were not only found in Hong Kong, but also can in Beijing, Shanghai and many cities in China.

  Dragon's beard candy is made by malt sugar, white sugar, peanut, sesame and desiccated coconut. It is cooked by well and experienced chefs. They always perform Dragon's beard candy's folding process in their stall. But you may seldomly see it in Hong Kong, you just can buy a pack of Dragon's beard candy only. If you will travel in China in the future, you may see the chef's performance later on. Therefore, if you want to taste it, I suggest you can go to Mongkok, becuase there is a stall specially that can sell Dragon's beard candy. The taste is very good!!! Let's try it @

 P.S.  I will post Dragon's beard candy of process video in our blog after later, please look forward the video!
