Potato Cake Origin Potato Cake was originally served in a pottery pot, but has long since disappeared in recent years.
Potato cake is an authentic street snack in Siyi. It is also a must-have for worshiping gods and ancestors.
Appearance: Brown bowl-shaped with some red beans on top. It is usually sold on skewers with two bamboo sticks.
Features: Shenglongxing specially brings pottery from Taishan to make cakes.
The bowl-shaped dice are only two inches in diameter and have a small capacity.
Today's changes: Today's pottery cakes are usually made by machines. The appearance of machine-made pottery cakes is very realistic, but the taste is a bit strange.
Some are made with porcelain bowls, but the original method of making them is rarely seen anymore.
After introducing some nostalgic snacks, let’s introduce some snacks from our generation’s childhood!
Origin of Ice Cream Ice cream and ice cream have been popular in Hong Kong as early as the 1950s.
At that time, local ice cream companies were well established.
Initially, only boxed ice cream was sold in Hong Kong, which was shipped by sea from Manila.
The price was high, and it was exclusively sold to foreigners at the time.
Preparation method: The local ingredients at that time were only eggs, milk, milk skin, sugar, millet seeds, coconut oil and so on.
Then crack the raw ice and pour it into the bucket.
Press it down with big stones and shake it with your hands. After shaking for a long time, it will be completed.
Influence Later, the dairy company and Onlandia also competed to make ice cream. Because the business was very good, they produced large quantities of ice cream.
Then the sandwich ice cream, lotus cup ice cream and other products were launched, and gradually became a popular cold product for everyone.
Today's changes came with the advent of machines, making mass production easier.
And there are more colorful ice creams for us to choose from.
Origin of Sugared Scallion Pancakes Sugared Scallion Pancakes were a snack in the 1990s. In the past, many people selling candied scallion pancakes would carry a box and sell them everywhere.
Preparation method: Sugared scallion pancake is made of small spring pancake skin, wrapped with scallion sugar, pickled radish, onions, garlic, chili sauce, etc.
You can feel the sweetness, sourness, spicyness and saltiness after entering the mouth. It is very delicious.
Today’s changes: Nowadays, seaweed sugar scallion pancakes have even appeared!
Adding shredded seaweed to the original candied scallion pancake makes the taste even more intense.
But the most common one now is the sweet scallion pancake.
Dragon Beard Candy "Dragon Beard Candy", commonly known as "noodle marshmallow", is officially listed as a tourist delicacy in Hong Kong, China and has been popular among the people for more than 2,000 years.
Naming, but the original name is unknown.
I only know that Emperor Zhengde discovered this candy when he was traveling among the people. He thought it was delicious, so he brought it back to the palace and named it "Dragon Beard Candy".
The outer layer of the special asparagus sugar is made of maltose covered with cake powder. After being pulled several times, it becomes as thin as silk and as light and soft as cotton. The sugar filling is made of shredded coconut, white sugar and fried peanuts; the cake powder is fried glutinous rice flour.
, so the Dragon Beard Candy is not only sweet but also slightly smoky and tough, making it easy to become addicted after eating it.
Cigarette Chocolate Appearance The packaging of Cigarette Chocolate is just like an adult's cigarette, smaller in size. There seemed to be "Camel" and "Circle" brands at the time.
Features: The cigarette chocolate inside is also wrapped in white paper. As long as you tear off the paper on the surface of the cigarette chocolate, you will have a chocolate bar that you can eat. It is extremely realistic.
Impact: Children will buy cigarette chocolate to pretend to be eating cigarettes, and this snack is suitable for children who want to play and pretend to be adults.
Cigarettes sold for NT$4 now may be because they are bad at educating children. Nowadays, Cigarettes can be seen and bought in many places, and occasionally only in some old shops.
Today's changes may also be due to the fact that there are many types of snacks now, and the quality of snacks is much higher than in the past, and children have more choices. Therefore, Cigarette Chocolate is not as popular with children as it was in the past, but Cigarette Chocolate has become rare.

Ji Ji Bing Do you know what the first generation Ji Ji Bing was like?
Appearance: The first generation of Jijibing was not the long tube type that is still available today, but was made of plastic wrapping paper.
Features and Impact: Because the tape is very sharp on both sides, if you suck it with your mouth, after you finish sucking the whole strip, the edges of your mouth on both sides may be injured.
Today’s changes So compared with before, today’s packaging is much more convenient and beautiful!
In short, modern children are much happier.
