📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Soy milk set into a delicate, custard-like pudding — a national dessert in Taiwan. Its gentle brown sugar syrup and the freedom to choose toppings like tapioca, mung beans, or peanuts explain its enduring popularity. Served chilled in summer, warm in winter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: A snack from night markets or dedicated douhua shops, where you pick your own toppings.
