Take a walk through the vibrant streets of Chengdu in southwest China, and you might just hear the rhythmic sound of drumming. This isn't just any beat—it’s the creation of a local street delicacy known as \"Three Cannons.\" Instead of drumsticks, glutinous rice balls are skillfully bounced onto a drum, propelling them into a vat filled with powdered ground sesame.
These \"cannonballs\" are then meticulously drizzled with syrup and generously sprinkled with sesame seeds, resulting in a delectably chewy and sweet treat that has locals and visitors alike craving more. This innovative approach to dessert not only showcases Chengdu's rich culinary heritage but also highlights the city's creative spirit in bringing traditional flavors to life in fun and engaging ways.
