With their glassy coatings and bright colors, tanghulu is a treat that has gone from traditional Chinese street snack to social media sensation. It’s most recognizable as a stick that’s about eight inches long stacked with bright red hawthorn berries, like strings of rubies clustered atop food carts. The candied skewer has origins in ancient China, but recently, it’s shapeshifted—becoming modernized by new purveyors and TikTok stars incorporating a rainbow of new fruit variations.
New York’s popular Mochi Mochi Donut brand, which usually sells a variety of flavored mochi-based donuts, added tanghulu to the menu in October of last year. New storefronts like Los Angeles’s Tangtastic have cropped up stateside just to sell tanghulu—and were greeted with long lines. Shops in Dallas, Oregon, and Oakland have started selling it, too. We’ve included an abridged list below.
