- Roasted grass jelly is a traditional Taiwanese dessert that features a warm twist on grass jelly, and it is said to have a warming effect on the body, especially during winter. Grass jelly itself is a medicinal herb used in traditional Chinese medicine, valued for its health benefits. It is particularly noted for its ability to regulate the digestive system and boost the immune system. In Kaohsiung's Cishan Old Street, originally a bustling town known for banana trading, its historical charm has turned it into a popular tourist attraction. The preparation of roasted grass jelly is simple: dried grass jelly is brewed and set into a jelly, then heated and served with toppings. However, the combination and balance of ingredients are crucial. The author of a gourmet blog seems to enjoy this fighting game-style dessert review, yet he questions, "Who is the real winner?" Nonetheless, perhaps what he truly aspires to is not excelling in food reviews, but rather achieving greatness as a gamer. Maybe he's more skilled with a controller than with a dessert spoon? 🍨🎮
