估计是调味料。四川火锅我不太喜欢，什么美味进去了出来都是一个味道。我还是喜欢清蒸之类的，能吃到食物的本来味道。

香港有一種本地版本的馬拉盞, 異地美食經過香港本地化的典型, 說來不光文字要本地化, 口味也需要本地化,:) 味道比正宗的馬拉盞要更鮮美一些, 但是價格就要貴很多. 很好吃, 而且不是特別辣, 讓廣東人都可以接受. 至於付多這麼多錢, 為多那一點點鮮味值不值得, 就見仁見智啦. 不過確實非常好吃.

TOPIC STARTER | 以大三巴为背景照相，摄影效果非常好！ | Oct 14, 2006 |
可惜，我上次去澳门只顾照相，忘了到大三巴对面的糕饼店（那店叫什么来着？）买食品，遗憾！

难怪地陪时刻提醒，十赌九输，你想掏光何鸿燊的身家很难。不过，可以去其他地方及大三巴的步行街，很多商家在街上向游人搭讪，自由活动购买美味的零食是很惬意的事啊。

是咀香園餅家。同去的朋友让我尝了咀香園的杏仁饼，味道确实不错。

Although a pecan tart is a miniature of a pecan pie (IMHO), I like both of them. BTW, I 've been wondering if PKChan's name is pronounced the same way as the word “pecan” (True or false? Let me know please:))...

My other favorite nuts may include filberts, walnuts, chestnuts, etc. But strangely enough, I am not keen on the chewy pralines mentioned by Wherestip, although they are also made of pecans. ...

Betty,
Don't let appearances fool you. They really aren't all that sweet. Lammes Candies which hails from Austin has been in business for more than a century. The pecan pralines they make are a real treat. Neiman Marcus even carries giftboxes of them at Christmas (which ain't that shabby). I myself would rank them up there with Beijing style peanut brittle. Like these...

Like you said, the texture of Baklava differs from 萨其马, but its basic ingredients are quite similar: flour, different kinds of nuts, and honey. The taste of Baklava reminded me of 萨其马 when a colleague brought some in to work once. He sent for them from a famous Muslim bakery located somewhere in Chicago when his daughter was born.

As the old saying goes, "Appearances are deceiving ", the Texas chewy pralines strongly recommended by you here truly deserve our attention. I'd definitely give them a try soon...

Anyway, I do enjoy savoring the deliciousness of both kinds of pastries...

Betty,
You're right. 萨其马 doesn't have a whole lot of different nuts in them. The ones made by 桂香村 used to have sunflower seeds in addition to sesame seeds. Chopped 青果、桂圆、樱桃、etc. could have been some other ingredients. I was no gourmet cook, so I hardly paid attention to what went in them at the time.
I just checked Lammes Candies website again. The picture they displayed of the Texas Chewies really don't do them justice. The real thing is not that dark. I can see why you think they're real sweet. The dark color can remind one of real thick molasses.

Glad to know I'm partially right;).
I don't know where and what "桂香村"( a famous bakery in Beijing?) is, but I can imagine they are going to be more tasty if Chinese white olives, longans, cherries, etc. are added to the 萨其马 they make...
Happy eating…

桂香村 and 稻香春 are two famous bakeries in Beijing that have been in business for a long long time. Yueyin and I talked about them here in the forum a couple of times. The link I just linked above also mentions both.
When you visit Beijing, don't miss making a trip to one of these stores.
