Sugar taro

When the feast starts, the first main course is steamed taro. It is usually dipped in sugar. "The Shanghai local residents like sweet food very much, especially sugar taros. When I was little, my siblings and I would eat an entire dish of sugar taro if it was on the dining room table," he recounted. Placed at the center of the table, anyone can reach and grab a taro, which is about the size of an egg. After peeling the taro, it is then dipped in sugar and can be bitten into. "Now people also prepare other taro dishes, for instance, green soy beans with taro. However, the first choice for most Shanghai families remains to be the sugar taro," noted Wang.
