Therefore, even if very hard to lick it one afternoon, a thick sugar that the body often so only by licking a little bit thin, even the taste buds are sweet, and only to find out lollipops had really resistant to eat. Loss of time really want to eat sugar and set back the wave board bag in the refrigerator. Now think of it, there is still interesting.

Spring field pizza (糖蔥餅)

    
   Today, I would like to introduce chinese traditional snack which is Spring field pizza(糖蔥餅). I think that the most of  Hong Kong people have already tasted it in their childhood.  I remeber that I always tasted it during studying secondary school, because it can be bought it from street-side near my secondary school. In recent year,  Spring field pizza is seldomly found from street-side.

   Spring field pizza is made by malt sugar, white sugar, sesame, desiccated coconut and spring roll wrapper. Spring field pizza is need to made by experience chef. Firstly, chef heat  malt sugar to melt and then use stick continued pulling until it turned white from golden yellow,  pulled up to the bar when it cut a section, it will become brittle after cooling. Secondly, chef use spring roll wrapper to wrap malt sugar, white sugar, sesame and desiccated coconut.

   You can buy Spring field pizza from street-side, and it is placed in glass box. But it is seldomly found from street-side in recent year, therefore if you want to taste Spring field pizza, I think that you depend on your luck. If anybody know where can buy Spring field pizza, please leave a message to me!!! Because I want to taste again~~

Cotton Candy (棉花糖)

    

    Today, I introduce cotton candy, but this type cotton candy cannot be bought in supermarket. Have you tasted it in your childhood? I have already tasted the cotton candy in my childhood. I still remember that my first time to tasted this type cotton candy in Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park(荔園) and I felt very magical and interesting when I tasted it, because the cotton candy dissolved in my mouth. Although, Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park is already closed, we can be able to find this type cotton candy in Hong Kong, For example, Hong Kong Disneyland.

    Autually, this type cotton candy has a long long history around Mid-18th Century and it come from Europe. Cotton Candy is form of spun sugar. Since it is mostly air, servings are large.  Food coloring is used to change the natural white color, thus it has many color, such as blue, pink and green......

     How to make the cotton candy? The machine used to make cotton candy consists of a small bowl, into which sugar is poured and food coloring is added.  The operator use a stick, cone, or their hands around the rim of the large catching bowl, gathering the sugar strands into portions.    

    Did you taste the cotton candy? If you no, never mind~~Let me describle to you. It is sticky and sweet,  Although it feels like wool to the touch, it dissolves quickly in the mouth.  It is soft and fluffy when dry but it comes in contact with moisture, it becomes sticky and damp.

Skittles(彩虹糖)

Do you remember “Skittles” (彩虹糖)? It is the colorful candies shell with red package.

Did you eat “Skittles” in your childhood? I sure the answer is “Yes”.

Skittles is one of the most popular candies available. It was less than 40 years ago, also if has been updated and marketed to always look hip and colorful. Nowadays Skittles is sold in over 65 counties around the world. It still remains one of the most popular brand of candies.

Skittles was first introduced to market in 1974 in American. This candy looks like M&M chocolate. Sometimes I confuse Skittles with M&M chocolate. However, the M&M logo is found on M&M candies, Skittles prints a small “s” on each of its candies.

 

It was first introduced to Hong Kong market in 1980’s. The marketing slogan of Skittles is “Taste the rainbow”. I found some advertisements of Skittles and those are interesting.

           

             

In the summer of 2004, Skittles was extended with the release of Skittles Bubble Gum. With a crunchy candy shell, the difference was a fruit flavored, soft bubble gum center. In addition, there are other varieties of Skittles available including: Skittles Bite Size Candies Original Flavor, Skittles Bite Size Candies Tropical, Skittles Bite Size Candies Wild Berry, Sour Skittles Bite Size Candies and Skittles Bite Size Candies Smoothie. Did you find them from supermarkets or stores??

To catch the customer needs and wants, Skittles designed new packages again. I visited Mannings last week, and found out that Skittles promote the new packages. The new packages design quite well. I think many office ladies (OL) will like this package and buy it. I think that you will like this packages also.=]
