The taste of ding-ding candy:
Traditional Tintin Sugar has sesame flavor and ginger flavor.
In order to cater to the tastes of young people, today's Tintin Candy has added new flavors such as strawberry chocolate.
The practice of tintin sugar:
Dingding candy is a traditional specialty candy in Hongkong. Authentic taste and traditional flavor are the favorite of young people in Hong Kong. This sugar itself is a large piece of maltose, which tastes like sesame and ginger and has a hard texture. When making, you need to melt maltose first, then add other materials and stir constantly. When it is not completely solidified, put it on the iron branch and pull it into sugar glue. Finally, the strip-shaped sugar gum is bundled into a disc shape.

Tintin Candy in childhood:
Tintin sugar has a unique "selling sound". When I was a child, those vendors who walked the streets carrying laundry baskets or small baskets, holding iron pieces in one hand and a small hammer in the other, collided with each other and made rhythmic sounds "Ding Ding, Ding Ding, Ding Ding ..." Sometimes they shouted: Ding Ding, Ding Ding. ...
Every time we hear the crisp metal collision, we will happily run out of the house, barefoot, swinging a small figure to see the uncle selling sugar, staring at the sugar, watching him knock it off one by one, weighing it with a special pocket scale and swallowing silently. Every day, we will chase the candy seller all the way, chasing the dense footprints all the way, and singing "Tintin Candy, Tintin Candy, Grandpa sells it to dolls, and dolls want to eat Tintin Candy".
Tintin sugar tasted like flour at first, and then the sweetness of maltose came out. When chewing, the flavor is more intense, and the sugar changes from dry to wet, from hard to soft, very sweet and sticky. Sometimes I feel that my upper and lower teeth are inseparable, and I am very anxious. I like this delicious food very much.
While I was tasting this precious childhood memory, I looked at the old sugar seller who continued to walk down the street with a laundry list on his back. Although his childhood is gone, the sweet and refreshing Tintin Sugar awakened his best and purest childhood memory, and I smiled very happily. In the eyes of old Kunming, it is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the effect of relieving cough, moistening lung and strengthening spleen and stomach.
