Ai Wo Wo is a halal snack made from glutinous rice in Beijing. It is characterized by snow white color, spherical shape, sticky texture, and sweet taste. Not only Beijingers like this snack, but also foreigners who come to Beijing often want to taste this nationally famous halal snack. Every year around the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar, snack bars in Beijing will sell this variety until the end of summer and early autumn. Therefore, Aiwowo is also a spring and autumn variety, and it is now available all year round.
There are two theories about the origin of Aiwowo. One is that it has existed in ancient times and originated in Beijing; the other is that it was brought into the Qing Palace by Uyghur Muslims and then spread to the people of Beijing. In fact, whatever you say, what you like to eat is good.
