Sweet Ticket Giveaway, Week 2: What's Your Favorite Childhood Dessert Memory?
when I was a little girl in Beijing, I used to beg my parents to order ba si at the end of meals — pieces of yam, sweet potato, or apple are lightly steamed and then we dip them, using our chopsticks, in this amber-colored sugar syrup. As we pull out the pieces, long lingering strands of sugar remain — like silk, si, that we are pulling, ba, hence the name. When you're satisfied with the length of your sugar silk, you dip the ends of the strands in a bowl of clear water and then — my favorite part — you quickly eat the treat while it's hot. I'd always burn the roof of my mouth and it would always be worth it :).

El Cocotero @ 228 W. 18th St; I found it through Yelp and really loved their arepas and sangria—the space is really good for a late afternoon meal with friends
