I was once asked by someone who had visited Taiwan, what local snacks or desserts there were that would satisfy his sweet tooth (Chinese sweets being considerably less sweet than Western), and I was at a loss. Not any more.
This is a maltose cookie (麥芽餅), a Taiwan snack that we bought from an elderly vendor stationed next to a toilet block in Daken, Taichung. It is as sweet as honey, and unless you too have a sweet tooth it is probably best eaten with a cup of coffee or a white tea. He spread maltose (like a harder version of treacle) on a traditional hard biscuit, then sprinkled chopped coriander, peanut powder, and plum powder (meizi fen) on top, before sandwiching it with another biscuit.
