It is obvious you know what you are talking about! :)<br /><br />This shaved ice... I have GOT to try this! Any idea if I can find this in the US? Or how to make it myself? Would you freeze sweet condensed milk and then shave it? But if so, with what... I have to find a way! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your passion with us.<br /><br />StephPoupettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668528976747294212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269011617274525442.post-56802726247050502412011-02-26T04:31:06.160-08:002011-02-26T04:31:06.160-08:00I LOOOOVE this post.

Times like those, I just come back to this post and I'm instantly transported back to the sights, sounds and smells of my beloved Shilin Night Market.

The joints often use soy sauce "paste" so the peanut powder can stick better. Since imported pork isn't allowed in the states, all the domestic stuff we have does not taste the same.
