Ding Ding Candy by Ku Min Shen

Last week, I was visited Ipoh with my family. Suddenly, I found Malt Candy (贵妃糖) or commonly referred to as “Ding Ding Tong” (叮叮糖) at Ipoh; directly nearby Restaurant Thean Chun , which mean in front of the Concubine Lane. You will definitely could found a bicycle that carry the Malt Candy.

“Ding Ding Tong” is a type of candy in Hong Kong and this Malt Candy has around 100-year history. Malt Candy is normally created in a big chunk size. The main composition of the candy are sugar and maltose with sesame. Upon cooling down, it will form a chunk of sugar. It is topped with some white sesame seeds and this really makes the candy's taste better and delicious. 

When I make an order, uncle will only start to slice some small pieces from the big block by using the unique tools which are the hammer and the cutter.

That things make me interested about this candy is the sound of Ding Ding Candy because the slicing process will carry out the sound of “ding ding ding ding ding” when 2 metals are collided. Besides that, the sound of “Ding Ding Tong” will attract customer to buy and taste it especially children. My dad told me that this sweet rhythm will always stay in his memory as it will bring out some of sweet child hood memories. 

Furthermore, the Malt Candy have two flavours which are original flavour and mint flavour. The price of Malt Candy also reasonable. Each pack of original flavours is RM 6 and mint flavours is RM 7. I strongly recommend you all to visit here as the taste is very nice at all. If you are candy or sweet lover, you may visit here AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Ding ding candy is waiting for you hahaha.
