糖葱餅

For someone who's devoted her life to eating, this is by far my #1 favorite snack of all time.

I never knew what it's called in Chinese until very recently.  Back then, it's just 'the-old-man-with-the-metal-box'.

I remember it very well, I always prayed that I would get a whole candy wafer... not a broken one.  The sweetness of the shredded coconut, sesame and maltose mixed with the white dough is truly heavenly.  It's one of the very few street food that we could afford in the old days, along with 格仔餅、臭豆腐、雞蛋仔、碗仔翅、魚蛋、砵仔糕.

It's not just the taste, it's the memories that's associated with each and every one of them.

We were once so young.
