Trivia
[For Women] Doesn't 'puff up hollow like a balloon' like real Digua Qiu, but becomes a new texture sweet: crispy outside, fluffy inside. A fiber mass, not deep-fried, functioning as the best snack for dieting Taiwanese girls.

[Unique Eating] Wrap a tiny bit of 'melting cheese' or 'pork floss (Rousong)' inside, making a surprise ball oozing 'sweet/saltiness' the moment you bite!
