We had our 4th annual all sugar event with the Cheap Ethnic Eatz Dinner Group recently and again it was a unanimous success. This event consists of 3 to 4 stops at locations that serve sugar in various forms and in all its glory. In this post I will let the pictures do the talking…

HKF — love beard candy
My favourite Chinese New Year food (though you sometimes find it all year round) is the Dragon Beard Candy, an ancient Chinese Emperor’s Dessert. It’s made into very sweet thin strands and sometimes filled with peanuts.
If you’ve never tried it, you simply have to! The only place I know to find this online is http://www.geocities.jp/family_hong_kong/English/Dragon_Bread_Candy_index.htm .
Too bad I had missed this one…looked like the sugar high was greatly achieved ;o) I personally would have needed a great big pot of that tea!
Ciao for now,

I shudder at the thought of the resulting sugar crash. I only hope you had alcohol to lessen the blow.
