Description of Our Community: Sing-gang is located in south Taiwan. In addition to Sing-gang's well-known religion of Matsu and Sing-gang fudge, she is also a place full of people and cultural activities. Local music and drama associations often go to the Unites States and Europe to perform irregularly. Although the Sing-gang community is a agricultural town that developed early, the streets are tidy and clean and the area around Fengtian temple is called one of the most prosperous place in Sing-gang with it's downtow‘s convenient traffic. Walking on the streets of Sing-gang is like entering a huge garden. You can easily see the beautiful design of gardening around corners and fences.
Project Description: Although Sing-gang is not big place, it's a town full of cultural activities. Each year the great Dachai Matsu worshipping activity makes Hisngkang a famous tourist attraction. Sing-gang shows different looks under local people's efforts. When we thought about the research topic, group members chose Sing-gang fudge without hesitating because it is not only adults' sweet memory but also children's favorite snack. We couldn't wait to introduce this local food that suits both young and old to everyone.
The main ingredients of Hisngkang fudge are malt sugar and peanuts, which can be counted as a kind of peanut candies. In early times that lacked life commodities, it's a super luxury to be able to taste candies with fillings. During Chinese year or worshipping Matsu Sing-gang fudge is the most popular present. Besides under Japan 's colonization it was even presented across the sea to the Japanese emperor, giving credits to it's special taste and quality. Therefore Sing-gang became more famous around the island just like Matsu .
In recent years, to cater consumers' needs for various flavors many stores promoted related products, such as longan fudge, plum fudge, and green tea fudge, which are also greatly liked. The active candy industry has become one of Sing-gang's characteristics. Being a local of Hisngkang, we'd like to find out why this little candy could grasp everyone's heart and how it's made by exploiing our hometown and Hisngkang fudge. Meanwhile we hope to realize the dilemma and challenges when inventing products and learn it's innovative and aggressive spirits through our interviews.
