He used to snack on them a lot when he was in Beijing, which was why he made a beeline over when he saw these candied plums ^.^<br /><br />Yeah, these plums were really crispy and tart, sort of like a really sour apple. But now that I think about it, what I just said sounds like what you just said LOL! Could they have been hawthorn berries after all? Not sure...<br /><br />Yup. Hubby and I are loading up on wax apples and guavas, because we know we'd miss them when we leave :(<br /><br />Cheers,<br />D.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12606515472124254336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239774207937548463.post-36773755052079735292012-11-26T09:01:10.730-07:002012-11-26T09:01:10.730-07:00I love those Tanghulu (although the one I liked/at...I love those Tanghulu (although the one I liked/ate was glazed hawthorn berry, it's like a sour, crisper and smaller version of apple) and it reminds me of my years in elementary school. During PE, me and my classmates would just sneak around the fence of the playground and buy from the mobile vendor (who walks around with that giant holder with the food stuck on it like the bristle from a broomsticks. The price was pretty good as well (back then)...only 1 yuan (a little over a US dime) a piece. <br /><br />I am not sure why they use plum though, I thought the whole point of that is the crisp of the fruit and the glaze. <br /><br />Anyway, the guava is pretty as well...Now I miss tropical fruit (not the weather, since there is plenty of heat down here) back in Asia.Citrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199668831634182275noreply@blogger.com
