I went to Xiamen with my relative this
winter vacation. Because my uncle lived in Xiamen, he showed us around as the
guide. This is a kind of dessert named Wo wo tou. Though it’s very
small, after you ate it, you would feel full. So it was seen as the main food
in the northern China. It shaped like the tart, so some Chinese called it “golden tart”.
On the top of it was Chinese red date. It was made of cornmeal, that’s why its
color was yellow. It was said even Empress Dowager Cixi liked its taste. It tastes
like a steamed bun, but the difference was that Wo wo tou tasted sweeter.
Now the Wo wo tou is regarded as panda’s favorite
dessert. The reason why pandas like Wo wo tou is that it makes them feel full easily, so people tend to feed them it instead
of lots of bamboos. It tastes very
unique.
Hi, Alier! I think the 窩窩頭 looks cute! It looks like kind of a castle. Although I have never been to Xiamen, I believe that there are a lot of mysterious and special desserts which are made by traditional Chinese. I think the astonishing idea which is bring out by them is really fantastic! That's why people always say that the elders are wiser than the youngsters. If I have a chance to travel to Xiamen, I would be glad to try it! :)

ReplyDeleteHello Alier. After reading your article, I think up my trip in Macao this summer vacation. Compared to Xiamen, Macao is little of Chinese culture. I think the reason is it had been colonized by Portugal for a long time. In Macao, the most famous dessert is the egg tart. It is delicious but it is depressed that it can’t have its own local food. Also, because Macao is bloomed by the gambling industry, which makes it emphasize the material life. However, if we want to shopping or enjoying luxury, it would be a very proper spot, especially for girls who like quality goods.
