This is 花生豆花 or "hwa shung dou hwa" or Peanut DouHwa or Peanut Tofu Pudding.
Whatever you wanna call it, this is my second favorite Taiwanese sweet treat (first place is chawbing or shaved ice).
It is a soy bean based pudding topped with brown sugar water and peanuts. Yummy!!
A small cup (this one) costs 20 NT or about 60 US cents.

That does look sweet! The pudding looks like a custard, which is one of my favorite desserts. I'm afraid this week's theme is going to make us all very hungry!

Culturally sweet treat...very original! I'm already noticing a pattern for the sweet shots...mine is a little different.

The way you describe it makes it sound like something I'd like, I love brown sugar and I'm a fan of nuts as well as custard. Great choice for the theme!

I love this dessert. There is this famous Taiwanese eatery that came to set up in Singapore. Yong He Dou Jiang. I have my fix every now and then. Sweet.

Posted by:mott | Friday, June 29, 2007 at 11:32 PM
I have been trying a lot of different foods lately--especially Korean food. Our son loves Asian kitchen...so this might be good too.
Thank you so much for sharing a treat we don't see here in the US.
I am so happy that you have stopped by tonight.
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend in Taiwan.

Oh my, that looks tasty!! This week's theme is going to make me gain 10lbs just looking at everyone's pics.
Yummy!

Hehe... the close-up makes it look rather "exotic" :D Peanut sounds good, but my experience on tofu is something I wouldn't care to repeat :S But I take your word for it being good!
Thanks for stopping by - it's been a while since I've been here (or anywhere in the bloggity land!). You've even swapped your sidebar on the other side! I'll try to be better - just that my bloglines gives me the creeps with the 930 unread posts!
