This Hong Kong chain is a dream come true for anyone with a sweet tooth, whether from Asia or not. Defy your dentist with sesame-flavored marshmallows, milk candy jellies, honey candy, and preserved plum and rose. Savory fans can snack Asian-style on the likes of dried spicy squid or anchovy, crab chips and ubiquitous wasabi peas. Tasting is welcome.
