It’s said that after working and studying for a long time, having some dessert can help us forget tiredness. Are you a dessert lover? What’s your favorite dessert? Have you ever heard of a traditional dessert called Fried Chop Rice Cake(驴打滚)?
The dessert is also named Lü Da Gun in Chinese. And it is one of the most popular snacks in Beijing. Its name is very interesting, isn’t it? But it has nothing to do with donkeys(驴). 1.It is a kind of handmade cake that tastes sweet and delicious. Why do Chinese people call it Lü Da Gun?
Here is a story about it. It’s believed that in the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi(慈禧太后) was tired of having the same kind of food every day. So, one day, a chef(厨师) was called to the palace. Cixi told her needs to the chef and ordered him to cook something different. 2.However, it’s too difficult for the chef to meet these needs. After thinking carefully, he made a new kind of cake by using rice powder and red bean paste(糯米粉和豆沙馅).
However, a boy came to the kitchen. Before the chef warned him, the boy had dropped the cake into soybean powder(黄豆面) by accident. 3.厨师很担心因为要做一个新的蛋糕太迟了。He had no choice but to take the cake to Empress Dowager Cixi nervously.
4.令他惊讶的是,慈禧非常喜欢他的糕点。 His bad luck unexpectedly turned into good things. She asked the chef what the name of the cake was. The chef had thought about that. Suddenly, he thought of the name of the little boy — “Xiao Lür’. So he said that the cake’s name was Lü Da Gun.
Since then, Lü Da Gun has won the hearts of foodies(美食家) for its special taste and funny name. 5.Many visitors see it as a must-eat food when traveling to Beijing. Would you like to try it?
