迁西贡栗, Qian Xi Roasted Chestnuts

Do you grow up eating Roasted Chestnuts?

In our younger days, we were always attracted by the aroma from street hawkers who "Pebbles fried" these Chestnuts in huge iron Wok.

It was an expensive tidbit in our context as the dollar often yielded substandard nuts that were either overdone or quite tasteless.

Roasted Chestnuts ($3 per 250grams)

Until the recent years, 迁西贡栗, as franchised little stalls were a Godsend to Chestnuts lover. Even Mum marveled at the quality Chestnuts compared to what they used to have from the street hawkers.

These were from Brother who bought them from West Mall that was having a mini Food Festival till 29 Aug. I don't think you find their franchised stalls often nowadays.

Roasted Chestnuts are Brother's favourite, and i think they are beginning to grow on me... ;)

Searching the internet for more info, i could only gather this webpage. Do read if you are as interested as i.
