Thanks for posting this recipe. I had the larger version of these in China. They are so delicious. Your clear instructions give me hope that I can re-create these myself!

That’s why I have no interest in going back at all.

The great firewall is much worse than it was when I lived in China. I was frustrated with it then; I couldn’t imagine dealing with that inconvenience now (after spending 10 months back in the US). Fortunately, my two important sites are still available on the mainland.

This dessert sounds familiar. I’m sure I tried it, but can’t remember it at all (actually, I can’t remember much of the sweet Chinese food, only the spicy).

Thanks Christine for you wonderful comments. Yes it is rather unreal for us accustomed to the Western open media environment to be in China. Your blog Fresh Local and Best is inaccessible in China right now. The increasingly restrictive environment actually is beginning to irritate many locals. Lets hope the government will recognize that they have gone too far.

Kian, thank you so much for giving the world insight into the common struggles you have with the firewall. I’ve only started reading about Google’s decision to pull out of China, and I must admit, it’s really difficult for me to wrap my western free-commerce, free-information perspective around the motivations of censorship. I love reading your blog and I admire the creations that you share here. Keep up the great work!
