Dishes
Hami Melon Stuffed Sugar-coated SkewersFresh Hami melon is used as filling, coated with boiled syrup to form a transparent crisp shell. The melon pieces are threaded onto bamboo skewers and then dipped in sugar glaze, offering a refreshing sweet and crunchy texture with fruity and sugary aromas.
Hawthorn BallsHawthorn balls are a snack made primarily from hawthorn. In the preparation process, hawthorns are first boiled until soft, then pitted. Fine granulated sugar and water are added and brought to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. The mixture is then reduced to low heat and cooked for about 1 minute. After filtering out the water and allowing it to dry, the balls are rolled in powdered sugar to finish.
Bamboo Shoot and Lotus Seed Candy ApplesMountain yam bean candy apples are a traditional snack made primarily from mountain yam beans and a syrup of rock sugar. After the yam beans are cooked, they are skewered on bamboo sticks and dipped into the prepared sugar syrup. Once cooled, a thin layer of hardened sugar forms around each bean, creating a crispy exterior with a soft, tender interior.
