Dear readers, do you remember these candies? Does it not bring you right back to playgrounds and playing all day and dirty hands and mommy's tender kisses? These adorable biscuit candies are officially called Iced Gem Biscuits, or 花佔餅, but my favorite name for them is the local nickname for them: Belly Button Biscuits, or 肚臍餅. What a cute name! Only the Cantonese, who are fanatical about giving everything a nickname or two, could think of a name like that!
These tiny sweet biscuits have been a favorite of children for many generations now in Hong Kong. Kids and their mommys and daddys are all fans of the Belly Button Biscuits! How cool is that!
