贞爱佳饼-桂花莲藕馅 (Osmanthus Biscuit With Sweet Lotus Seeds Paste Filling)
Souvenir from a visit to Leifeng Pagoda (雷峰塔), which is a popular tourist spot in Hangzhou.
I am always a sucker for new taste and I was immediately attracted to the (kitchy) packaging, riding on the popular Chinese fable of Lady White Snake (which, in the fable, was trapped in the pagoda by a powerful monk, separating her from her human husband).
The biscuits were sweet but were surprisingly pleasant with osmanthus fragrance. They were soft but firm and so were quite easy to consume. I rather enjoy this kitchy touristy snack, to my own surprise!
