two treats

I'm making the most of my time abroad by eating dessert after every meal. I have two new favorites.

1) "green-bean and peanut cake"

tastes like cookie dough but is made (what isn't here?) of powdered mung bean and oil.

2) Pappa roti

tastes like a delicate raised maple bar, only it's not glazed, and instead has a small crunchy sugary ring around the base (shaped and sized like a 3-D yarmulke), and the outside is the slightest slightest bit crispy. there's also a secret pocket of melted margarine somewhere. It's outrageously expensive by chinese standards (it cost as much as my lunch for one), but it was warm and gave me a priceless sugar high.
