You’ve been lied to about Tanghulu. This is the original #tanghulu

If you’ve only had the strawberry version, my dear… you’ve been lied to. 🍓😏

The real Tanghulu is made with 山楂 — Chinese hawthorn berries, and they’re finally in season! 🛒
Check your local Asian market — now’s the time to try it.

They’re perfectly tart, coated in a thin layer of crunchy sugar that’s just right — not too sour, not too sweet. 💥
Honestly? Way better than strawberries. More bite, more flavor… and 100% tastes like my childhood.

I measure with my Chinese eyeballs 👁️
But don’t worry — I dropped the recipe in the video for those of you who need backup 😉

So crunchy. So nostalgic. So worth it.

    Remember. DO NOT touch the sugar with your bare hands!! Were talking 3rd degree burns INSTANTLY

    I'm just curious, how do you clean the sugar from your spoon and pot afterward?

  3. @WRDNK

    Aren't you supposed to spin it quick after pouring over the syrup? So you get the sweet hairs?

    I was wondering what those were! I think I remember seeing it in a cartoon once, hero 108 or something. Always wondered what those were, but now I know! Neat!

    YAAASS! The OG tanghulu, reminds me of Chengdu
    We used to always snack on Hawthorne tanghulu near tianfu square 🥹

    I’m salivating seeing those large Chinese Hawthorn berries 😅 This berry and whole tree is used in TCM for health benefits. Don’t mistake it as fresh jujube/fresh Chinese dates even though can be use if you’re not a fan of Hawthorn berries 🥰
