ＮＯＴ ＴＨＩＳ ＳＴＩＣＫＹ！！！
The sticky food have its variety kinds of each genre, the cool cake has different kinds, such as bowl cake, rice cake, tower cake, Aiwowo, bean cake, rice dumplings etc.
As same as before, I will describe each kinds of sticky food and explain the history and what is it made from.
Aiwowo, or Steamed Rice Cake with Sweet Stuffing, which is my favorite sticky food in Beijing.
In Chinese, Aiwowo means a ball shaped food made by sticky rice with some sweet things inside.
Aiwowo is a traditional food in old Beijing, it has color of snow white of its surface, shaped like someone is smiling. The Aiwowo is not only famous in Beijing, but also famous all around China.
Here is the history of the Aiwowo and how it came from:
In the past, the empress and concubine in Forbidden City feels little bit dislike about seafood, because they ate them everyday. One day, there was a chief served in Forbidden City came back from his hometown, he brought some traditional food from his home, which are Aiwowo. The emperor and concubines taste them and like them so much. They said it not only has a good looking of its snow white color, but also taste sweet. Therefore, Aiwowo was spread out from the Forbidden City, and the people nearby love them so much. Furthermore, the Royal Aiwowo changed its name to Aiwowo, which shows more traditional.
Maybe this is the last chapter because I am so lazy...
