Tanghulu Stall
×Tanghulu (Candied Hawthorn)
Why you must eat itHawthorns are skewered, coated in melted sugar and left to cool. The shell is thin and hard, cracking with a clear sound to release the fruit's sourness beneath. Lately there are versions wrapped around strawberry, grape or tangerine. It suits walking, though the sugar sticks to clothes, so take care. The colder the day, the crisper the shell.
A street sweet that stands for winter in Beijing, sold at temple fairs and hutong stalls. It once used only hawthorn. Prices vary by the fruit on the skewer and are a guide. On warm days the sugar softens, so the cold season tastes better. Stalls shift day to day, so look along the lane.
