You may feel unsure about what are in the picture, they are called Bingtonghulu in Chinese, which simply means Crispy Sugar-Coated Fruit (haws, yam, etc.) on a Stick. It is a common snack in the cold winter of north China. It tastes a little bit sweet and sour. I love it soooo much!!!

Dumplings


The most special foodway for me is making dumplings together with my families. In Chinese culture dumpling is one of the representative foods of the Chinese New Year. It have several special meanings: the shape of a dumpling is just like the Chinese ingots which signify the good wishes of been wealth and fortune; moreover, dumplings are stuffed by all kinds of forcemeat, legume and vegetables which are endowed of sweet blessings; when make dumplings, families always share out the work and help one another. It is quite a warm atmosphere. While eating dumplings, we like to watch the special celebrating TV show for welcoming the New Year.
