Dragon's Beard is a Chinese treat that dates back over 2000 years. The outer part of the candy is made by folding and pulling sugar repeatedly until it turns into superfine threads, like hair. The strands are wrapped around a finely ground filling of toasted coconut, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Because of it's fine texture, Dragon's Beard is extremely sensitive to heat and humidity. It's shelf life is pretty much nonexistent, so it kind of felt like a privilege to see these candies being made by hand, and then getting to eat it immediately.
There is a lot of texture wrapped into a Dragon's Beard. The crumbly filling is hard to control once the silky exterior has been broken. The freshly pulled sugar still retained a bit of heat, allowing it to stretch by inches when bitten. There's a pretty embarrassing photo of me on my first bite of Dragon's Beard in which my eyes are rolled far back into my head with pure bliss. It's indicative of how yummy the candy was, but I'm thankful to Dave for not including it in the Flickr stream for our trip.
Check out some more of Dave's photos from Australia. There are more to come, and I'll be writing a bit more about fun things from our trip soon.

Firstly, welcome to Australia. If you are still here, I hope you're having a great time. Yes, that flight is a killer. Worse bit is, knowing you've got to do it again on the way back. But good thing you're enjoying lots of food delights while you're here. :)
What a great description of the candy...I can't wait to try some!
