I’ve always loved ‘sachima’ - when I visited Taipei’s National Palace Museum back in 2010, I was fascinated to learn that ‘sachima’ was a Tartar dessert, introduced to the Chinese by the Manchus. I subsequently encountered the same dessert, with minor variance in texture & sweetness, in Russia, Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan, where it’s known as ‘chak-chak’.
Pictured below is the ‘chak-chak’ I had at Sultan Restaurant in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
