Tanghulu Tree

Tanghulu (糖葫芦) is a traditional Chinese snack made of fruits with hardened sugar syrup coat. It is a popular treat for kids during winter (usually around the Chinese New Year) that you can easily find as a street food. When they are coated with sugar syrup, the combined sweet and sour flavor enriches every bite of them, leaving me with wonderful memories of my childhood.
