Dong Gua Tang (冬瓜糖) Candied Winter Melon

Dong Gua Tang (冬瓜糖) Candied Winter Melon

 



Dong gua tang (冬瓜糖) (pinyin with tones: dōng guā táng) is known as candied winter melon, which is cut into strips, boiled with sugar water, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Since there are lots of seeds in a winter melon, and the Chinese of “seed” is “籽 (zi),” which sounds the same as “子 (zi, child),” so dong gua tang symbolizes that it is a blessing to have many offspring and descendants (多子多孫多福氣). Another saying is that the Taiwanese of “冬瓜 (winter melon)” is “tang kue,” which sounds like “tang kue (冬過)” in Taiwanese, meaning winter is over.

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.
