Halal Supermarket Ma Ji in Niujie
Ma Ji uses small granulated rock sugar, which creates a crystalline golden candy-coated layer that tightly wraps around the hawthorn. The seeds have all been removed, and the candy slices are crispy, while the red fruit flesh is soft and tangy, creating a perfect balance of sour and sweet.
Dongsi North Street Convenience Bike Store
There is also a convenience bike shop on Dongsi Beidajie, with a variety of candied haws displayed. The hawthorn with red bean paste filling is the best. The hawthorn has a sour taste, but the slightly sweet red bean paste balances the acidity, creating a mild, fragrant and rich texture.
