Dragon Beard Candy

food drink

A single glass display case holds piles of delicate, white, cocoon-like sweets that look more like spun silk than traditional candy. Dragon Beard Candy traces its origins to the Chinese imperial court, where masters stretched honey and maltose mixtures into thousands of hair-thin strands. Here in the heart of Montreal, the process remains entirely manual. A master pulls the sugar loops over and over by hand, creating the signature texture that dissolves the instant it touches your tongue.
