What is tang hop?

Answer 1

Tang hop, or "tanghulu," is a traditional Chinese snack that consists of fruits, typically hawthorn berries, coated in a hard candy shell. The fruit is skewered on a stick, dipped in a sugar syrup, and allowed to cool, forming a glossy, crunchy exterior. It is often enjoyed during festivals and fairs, and has gained popularity in various forms, including using other fruits like strawberries and grapes. The combination of sweet and tart flavors makes it a favorite treat in Chinese street food culture.
