Zhi ma qiu (芝麻球) (pinyin with tones: zhī má qiú), sesame ball, is a traditional dessert which is made of glutinous rice flour with full of white sesames outside. The filling can be red bean paste, taro paste, black sesame paste, peanut paste, or hollow. Zhi ma qiu has different names in different countries in Asia. No doubt it is a popular sweet for afternoon snack or dessert. You can find zhi ma qiu in the food stands on the street or in banquet restaurants.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
