We cooked four dishes, and every one tasted delicious. We are sharing one of the recipes that we learned. It is douhua (click on link if you are interested in the recipe) a non-dairy dessert we liked – somewhat similar to a plain pudding made from soy milk, served with a fruit- or ginger syrup topping. Taiwanese prefer their desserts just a tad sweet, but not very sugary. With this dessert, you can adjust the sweetness with the syrup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/671f66bbe1f1793a7a66f890/9f04df4e-8eae-4f83-90bf-3cdb1268f8da/IMG_9485.jpg Blog - Taiwan: All the little things, and more - Make it stand out Admiring other artists’ art pieces after a session of sketching.
