Candied Sweet Potato Cubes (蜘蛛絲地瓜) @ Hanxi Night Market in Taichung [Taiwan]

To be totally honest, I don't really look at signboards whenever I visit the night markets in Taiwan. It's the smell of the food that captivates me, with the visual appearance catching my attention. 

There wasn't any smell emitting from this stall but the look of that box filled with glistening golden nuggets definitely drew my attention. It's only then that I looked at the sign board and noted those nuggets were in fact sweet potatoes; one of the best carbohydrate choices around! 

We got a box at NT$100 after much deliberation. While sweet potatoes were a good source of carbohydrates, the shiny glace covering them was a result of sugar, similar to the tanghulu; not exactly healthy.... Oh well, too great a temptation, it was.

Did I regret my choice? Hell no as they were irresistibly delicious! Coated with a crunchy layer of sugar with soft insides, it's a guarantee that every piece of sweet potato was sweetened, and boy were they addictive, and sinfully so! Even Alex, a non-sweet potato lover, likes them! 

=====

I did regret something. 

Not having it again before leaving the city!
