tau sar peahs are littles dumpling-shaped morsels of googness that represent a cross between a biscuit and a pastry. they are so good, people liken to 'food for the gods'. eaten as a snack or for dessert, the delicioustau sar peah are made by baking red bean paste in sugar and lard till it becomes a mushy yellow colour. the paste is rolled into a mould with thin flour. the skin becomes flaky when the tau sar peahs are baked to crispy golden brown. today, there are other variants using green pea paste, lotus paste and even salted egg yolk!
