I always wondered what were those huge blocks of peanut brittle and stacks of spring roll doing in stalls I found every time I travel in Taiwan. I noticed that they shave the peanut brittle and transfer the shavings into a thin crepe, but for some reason I had always avoided it. I became very curious and decided to try it when we went to Raohe night market. Now I know that this is an ice cream treat to be celebrated. Honestly upon first seeing this, I didn't see how it can impress me for I had already eaten ice cream from a burger bun.
Jiu Fen Old Street in Ruifang District of New Taipei, Taiwan is filled with all sorts of goodies: from traditional items such as fans and hats to delicious food such as different kind of balls. Yes, balls. (Read more of the Jiu Fen adventure here) Speaking of balls, we found a famous stall that sells them. In fact, they offer three kinds of balls: yuyuan (taro balls), diguayuan (sweet potato balls), and tangyuan (green tea balls). Sumptuous mixture of different balls and different beans in a hot sweet broth. That's weirdly ball-licious.
