Chinese are not supporters of desserts and sweets in general. Favorite Chinese sweets - red or green beans with an ice-cream, sweet rice or small cakes from rice broth, tomatoes in caramel, chestnuts and fruit salad stuffed with something like mayonnaise. Though, certainly, there are also some more habitual for a European’s stomach dishes: apples, bananas, pineapples or pears in hot caramel. Fruit is immersed in cold water then caramel hardens and appears very appetizing sweet.
