The legend of Dragon's Beard Candy was first notably practiced during the Chinese Han Dynasty. An imperial court chef entertained the Emperor one day by performing steps involved in making a new confection. The process of making the candy involved stretching a dough-like mixture composed from rice flour into small, thin strands. These strands reminded the Emperor of a dragon's beard, and were sticky enough to adhere to one's face quite easily, so thus the concoction was there...-forth named as Dragon's Beard Candy. The name may also be attributed to the status of the mythical dragon as a symbol of the Chinese Emperor, so presenting the confection as Dragon's Beard Candy was deemed acceptable due to the social nature of the candy, as it was reserved only for the ruling class, likely due additionally to the complexity of the preparation process.
Luckily, you don't have to be the Emperor to taste the great Dragon's Beard Candy. Come to Chinatown market every Friday night and explore the ancient heritage of China,
Search Dragon Beard Candy Australia (龍鬚糖) for their Facebook page and see you Friday

Chinatown Markets operate as usual from 4pm to 11pm tomorrow on Anzac Day.
Feel free to visit us while celebrating the day that we will always remember Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.

The official Chinatown is small and priced high. However blocks and blocks around this area are mostly Asian oriented and provide great food and shopping experiences.
