Much to bearkid's surprise we got her a lot of candies for her to do a taste test to see how she reacts. These are the ones we enjoyed back then.

This one is my favorite from China which we have a lot sold locally. From a Chinese fruit made into disks it is a treat which I cannot get enough of.

Looks like bearkid did not like it that much. I was telling her that it was my favorite but we all have different tastes.

Next we have White Rabbit also a Chinese candy. This one we found at the grocery and only one pack was left. There are two variants of this candy. One is hard candy with vanilla flavor and the other one is the more expensive soft vanilla candy and wrapped with edible rice wrapping. It was fun to eat a candy along with the wrapper inside.

Oh I forgot bearkid is not fond of sour tasting candies. Although it has a sweet variant the one we got was the sour one. Poor bearkid.

This colorful candy is a favorite of a lot of kids. The straw packaging which you would need to squeeze out as you have a bite. This taste sweet and just a bit of sourness which is just right.
