The culture and food is a unique specialty of a place, so whenever you visit a place, you must try the local cuisine & specialty of that place.
In Taiwan, there is a restaurant named “Old Town. Small Travel” (舊城.小旅行) in Kaohsiung. Their Totoro Tangyuan with red bean soup is very popular!
The Totoro-looking Tangyuan is winter-limited! They are all hand-made!
It is made of glutinous rice flour and bamboo charcoal powder, which makes it quite chewy!

It is quite appealing & appetizing!

It is exactly the same as Totoro

This is so unique and well prepared, that’s why most people would like to make a trip just to try this!
