"A trip to Montreal’s Chinatown isn’t complete without a stop-and-stare at this iconic De La Gauchetière counter. Since 1991, it’s been spinning threads of sugar into compact bite-sized morsels encasing a mixture of peanuts and sesame — a confection that, legend has it, dates back to the Chinese Han Dynasty." - Valerie Silva, Tim Forster
