Trivia
[For Youth] True to its name 'Hundred Herbs', it blends numerous medicinal spices. The reason Taiwan night market fried foods taste 'somehow sweeter and spicier than Japanese Karaage' is the massive use of this powder. Even youths disliking star anise's overpowering smell go crazy for this mild, licorice-heavy spice.
