Backdated to 10/9/07 – Taiwanese peanut candy from Shilin Night Market, Taipei

Taiwan is also famous for their nutty candy too. They make them hot and cut them on the spot for your eating and seeing pleasure. Their almond-slivered candy is adequately coated in sugar syrup to hold them together, without the sugar syrup becoming too sweet, thick and hard like some peanut candies I have tried here – you might find your molar embedded in it when you are eating it in your old age. The almond-slivered candy is crunchy when you chew them, and them flakes just crumble in your mouth… The more you chew them, the more fragrant they become, and before long you discovered to your horror that you ate half of a container of them! Yummy but you don’t really care because you are just counting your calories……as a pointless exercise. Just let your jaw, tongue and digestive tract muscles do the exercising.
