Red beans are red beans, and many red bean desserts are despised by diners for being too sweet. This is not the case with the red bean lantern festival, which is only the size of a watermelon seed and has no filling, and is also known as red bean small lantern festival or red bean balls. The soup base is thick red juice, thickened by brown sugar water and lotus root powder, and has the same origin as the sugar taro seedlings. Many shops will also add some liquor to enrich the flavor, and Nanjing's red bean Lantern Festival is not greasy.

Red bean Lantern Festival often appears together with sugar taro seedlings and sugar porridge lotus root, due to the proximity of the soup base, its flavor is similar, and it can be selected according to the taste. The production of Blue Boss Sugar Porridge Lotus Root and Old Town South Cake Dough is also brewed with wine; Lianhu Cake Dumpling Shop and Fang Po Cake Dumpling Shop are too sweet to taste, so it is not recommended to make a special trip to taste them. In contrast, the Baixia Lantern Festival shop uses the bitterness of lotus seeds to neutralize the sweetness, and the method is more intelligent, and there are many branches, so you may wish to pay attention.
