- Food Travel Log
- A traditional Chinese dessert, Double-Skin Milk (Shuang Pi Nai), can be simply described as a milk pudding. Its shockingly mild sweetness caught me off guard. But the subtle sweetness amplified the mango’s natural flavor so much it was overwhelming. Then I realized: the mild sweetness of the pudding was meant to enhance the mango. I couldn’t stop trembling. Was it the dessert or a fever?

- Shuangpina (Shuangpi nai) is a traditional dessert from Guangdong Province, and its two "skins" are key to its uniqueness. It is made through a labor-intensive process where milk is boiled and then cooled to form a skin, after which milk with egg whites is added on top and another skin is formed. This creates two thin layers, which is the origin of its name. Shenzhen's Dongmen Pedestrian Street is a historic commercial district known as a gourmet spot bustling with locals and tourists. An example of a modern twist is topping shuangpina with fresh mango. You might not have been aware, but if your shivering is due to a newfound taste sensation rather than a cold, that would be delightful. Or perhaps you might simply consider raising the air conditioning temperature a bit for the love of your dessert.
