Luckily we had the pork hotdog before we proceed to the Wulai's hot spring and waterfall. Why? Because in order to see the waterfall, we need to walk almost an hour to go up the hill and another hour to come down the hill. So with the pork hotdog, we have energy to walk that far mar. hehe..
Anyway, when we came down and back to the street that full of temptation (FOOD...) we decided to treat ourselves with food AGAIN!! hehe.. at first we wanted to find a place to have our lunch, but at the end we had snacks till we decided to skip lunch.
I've seen a lot of stalls selling 'di gua' but not sure what is it. Looks like sweet potato but it's much smaller. Therefore we decided to buy some to try...

There are two colors, one red one orange, when we asked her what's the difference, she told us the red one is with skin, the orange one is without. The other side is the sugar. They boiled the sweet potato with sugar, must be pretty sweet. We asked her to mix the red and orange one so that we could try both.
3 red and 3 orange
At first i thought the orange one (without skin) will taste better but surprisingly the red one (with skin) taste better! Basically it taste like sweet potato, except it's sweeter. hehe... not bad lar... but not advisable to eat more, too sweet... So now i know their 'di gua' is actually our sweet potato (蕃薯). hehe..

Guess who call sweet potatoes digua? The northern Chinese. We Taiwanese call this hanchi (蕃薯) But why? Does digua sound sweeter the hanchi? Think it twice, my dear Sweet Potatoes!
