JIUFEN FOOD

JiuFen is a food paradise.  There are many food stalls around but our bellies were not big enough to accommodate all.

We ate at the dessert store  to fight off the cold once we reached Jiufen.  The shop is on the right side of the old street entrance.   There are many choices to choose from and the dessert was nice and tasty.  I liked the chewiness and softness of the glutinuous balls made from yam and pumpkin.  The balls were flavored with ginger syrup, beancurd or red beans soup.
