The chocolate was horrendous. There was, however, a really good pastry that was like a donut. It was sugar in dough, boiled in oil and served hot.

Sortof of the Chinese answer to the vanilla Tootsie Midgee...or maybe Tootsie copied the White Rabbit. That's more likely... Actually, I just bought some really good Chinese preserved fruit candies, beautifully wrapped, in flavors like lemon, ginger, plum and apricot. Real fruit, though - not fake. I like them a lot.

The one exception was White Rabbit candy, which featured a smiling white rabbit on a mushroom. I think it was a kind of taffy. That was a savory rather than sweet year for me.
