Move over, dalgona coffee—there’s a new viral food sensation, and it’s bright yellow, drenched in chili sauce, and made from… peas? 🫑🔥 That’s right! A quirky street food in Shigatse, Tibet, is winning hearts (and burning taste buds) with its unique twist on traditional jelly.
What’s the Buzz?
Locally called ‘gyurma’, this wobbly snack starts with pea starch boiled into a golden base, then gets a fiery makeover with chili oil, Sichuan pepper, and garlic. Served cold, it’s the ultimate mix of refreshing and spicy—like TikTok’s ‘everything is better with hot honey’ trend, but with altitude vibes. 🏔️
Why It’s a Must-Try
Travelers rave about its texture: "Imagine jello met a noodle and decided to start a rebellion," says backpacker @WanderLustEats. For locals, it’s a nostalgic summer staple. Bonus? It’s vegan-friendly and costs less than a latte. ☕💸
