He Tai

Kaohsiung


This old shop makes unbleached winter-melon sugar (冬瓜糖, dōngguā táng) and snacks. The sugar can be consumed as sweets, added to tea, or melted in hot water with a splash of lemon juice or milk for a refreshing drink. Winter melon purifies the body in Chinese medicine. Take care you don't trip on the giant gourds near the entrance.
