A crisp peanut-and-sesame brittle of Chinese origin, cooked so it shatters cleanly, rich with roasted peanuts and malt syrup — a sweet gift from Nam Định.
Sìu Châu candy is a celebrated specialty of Thành Nam (Nam Định), rooted in the Chinese community that settled here hundreds of years ago. Fragrant roasted peanuts and sesame are cooked with malt syrup and sugar following a closely guarded recipe, yielding a brittle that snaps crisp without sticking to the teeth, then dusted with white glutinous rice flour. It is a sweet treat tied to every Lunar New Year in Nam Định.
Flavour: Crisp, nutty and fragrant, delicately sweet
