Candy: Sour plum encased in a sugar-molasses-type sweet
Offered after a Thai meal, while we were in Taiwan - to refreshen the breath (too much garlic?) and cleanse the palates perhaps? But I think there are better options of candies around to do that ? -_-

Some Chinese like to put sour plums in their Chinese liqueur. I'm not a fan of these plums but have family members that go nuts over them.. They say "Kai-wei".
I don't know about the taste but it looks beautiful! great pic!!
it must be salty-sour... Am not a big fan of preserved plums either.
Have a happy PH!
Looks delish! Happy Weekend;)
That's a great shot there! Happy Weekend!
I don't fancy these types of candies but they are lovely to look at.
Looks delicious and sounds wonderful to me too.
I am literally swallowing hard. This sounds so delicious.
Well, I have one candy that's nutless, and one candy with nuts...stop by and enjoy the sweetness!

These candies were SUPER popular when I was in high school, growing up in Hawaii. Seeing the photo brings back so many memories!
Wow ... pretty! I want one!
I would never had put that two together. I haven't had sour plums in a long time. I used to eat them as a kid.
I wonder if I would have the courage to try it! Is it a soft candy or a hard sweet?
Your photo is wonderful.
I always bring back a huge bag of these addictive candies from Malaysia.
They start off sweet and then sweet and sour. In the end you just suck on the sour and salty plum. Yum!!!!
Hi. Thanks for visiting my blog. I refreshed your site a few times but I can't see the photo. I have no idea why. Anyway, it sounds like an interesting kind of plum.
I could eat a sour plum on its own but not with anything else.
i loooove those candies! I get them in japan all the time!
love and so desireable!
That looks interesting! Love the color :)
I'm back and I can see the image already. That looks interesting and worth a try.
Ohhh I wonder how that taste. At first I didn't like sour plum but later on, I came to like it.
ooo. i've had this once in my life! it was such an interesting sweet. did keep me awake in the most boring lecture ever though :)
I have tried sour plum once, twice...before. I didn't develop much tatse for it although I did try to like it. I wonder how it tastes like with the sugar coating.
I used to have it when I was a teenager - my mom used to buy a full bag of it. I like the sourness more... :P
hee I don't really like this sweet, because I look like I have a swollen cheek (or a hamster with full cheek pouch) when I'm eating this, keke
Oh boy..1! i used to love this.. and eat them all the time.. :)
You folks are so funny!
Just that little sweet makes my day...errrr...not the candy but your comments :)
