I have always wanted to try these, but on my last visit to Lamma I could not find them.These sweets must be really famous in Lamma as I did not mention to my friend where to get them and she knew exactly where to get them.It was such a sweet surprise from Sinmei, thank you so much!Before I tried them I did not know what to expect because in Chinese they are meant to be marshmallows but in English they are called Peanut candy according to their labeling.When I opened the bag, the smell of dessica
These sweets must be really famous in Lamma as I did not mention to my friend where to get them and she knew exactly where to get them.It was such a sweet surprise from Sinmei, thank you so much!
Before I tried them I did not know what to expect because in Chinese they are meant to be marshmallows but in English they are called Peanut candy according to their labeling.
When I opened the bag, the smell of dessicated coconut was really nice and coconutty just like toasted coconut.
The texture of it was soft and nothing like a nougat, after I took a bite, it turned out to be marshmallow so the Chinese labelling/description is more accurate.
The marshmallows were lovey and soft with some chew to it.
This is the best marshmallow I have tasted. The coconut gave the marshmallow a really nice taste and there were pieces of peanuts in it too!The big secret is the crispy crunch.
Most people think that the crunch comes from the peanuts which I almost did as well but it was not the peanuts.
After tasting it carefully I realized the crispy crunches were coming from pieces of toasted rice in it.
The marshmallow is a must get item from Lamma!!After reading the reviews, it appears the price is roughly the same as four years ago, but you get fewer pieces per bag!
I wish I tried these marshmallows a few years ago!
Although they seem expensive, the taste is amazing, and they are slightly cheaper than a macaron.
Once again, Thank you Sinmei for these lovely scrummy marshmallows.
