In the days before gourmet chocolates and Western pastries altered our tastebuds, there're the traditional confectionery shops selling Chinese pastries. The assortment of biscuits and cakes are great for snack attacks. Somehow these have a more homely bite to it. It's still possible to find quaint old confectioneries like this one along our streets.
It's like a provisions shop but with a twist. This shop in Chinatown stocks clothes, household appliances and all things imaginable, using only paper. The Chinese burn them as paper offerings to their ancestors.For more Show your World posts,go here.
I like Chinese cakes and pastries. They are less sweet than the western versions.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
That is an interesting place. I would like to try Chinese sweets. Cool about the paper, too.
