Always Smiling

　　Sweet and tangy, and adorable in appearance, just like Cangzhou’s signature dish—Always Smiling. This dish is made with golden-thread jujubes and white sugar. The pits are first removed from the jujubes, then a mixture of sugar and flour is stuffed inside and steamed until cooked. When you take a bite, the sugar is sweet while the jujube has a subtle tartness beneath the sweetness, creating a mouthfeel reminiscent of first love—sweetness that comes straight from the heart, yet leaves a faint trace of sourness as you continue eating, a feeling that remains forever beautiful.
