Sweets in Night Markets By Lily.Michelle.Monica.Tiffany
Introduction When it comes to night markets, “food” is the first word flashing into our mind. Both sweets and salty foods are seen in night markets. Our group is responsible for sweets. With our careful selection, we decide to introduce some traditional snacks. We hope that you can understand more about our food culture from our presentation.
Tofu Pudding & Ice Shavings • Tofu pudding, a traditional snack, originated from ancient China. White and soft, it tastes like Tofu. • Ice shavings look like snowflakes. They cater for people of all ages. They are always eaten with trimmings such as red beans, pearls, taro balls, peanuts and whatever you like. The most important thing is to add sugar water to it.

Hot Chinese Herb Jelly (Shau Shan Chau) • When it is served hot, it looks and tastes like condensed sweet soup. When it gets cooler, it tastes like jelly. • We Taiwanese enjoy it in cold winter. Take our school for example. It is sold in our school canteen in winter. • You can eat it without any trimmings or choose any flavor you want, just like the traditional tofu pudding and ice shaving.
Egg Cakes & Horse hooves • Egg cakes and horse hooves are both made of flour and milk. • The difference between them is that the former is baked and latter is fried. Egg cakes become fluffy after baked. While the horse hooves taste crispy. • Egg cakes are in the shape of animals while horse hooves are only in the shape of horse hooves. Children all like them very much.

Aiyu jelly & Tapioca balls • Aiyu jelly is made from the plant named Aiyu. It’s like jelly and has a very special flavor. • Lemonade and sugar water are added so that it tastes sweet and sour. • Tapioca balls are just like pearls, with lighter color. People always eat them together.
Sugarcoated haw on a stick (Tang hu lu) • First, choose any fruit you want and string them up (we usually use tomatoes, strawberries, preserved fruit). • Then put it into boiling sugar. When the coating solidifies, it’s done. • It tastes great but a little bit hard. • With crispy coating, the elderly whose teeth are not very good might have trouble with it.
