When you enter Tai O village, this stall is near the entrance and hard to miss, selling those traditional Chinese sweet/savoury teacakes.
The popular white ones with peanut and coconut filling are usually sold out first, they are similar to mochi but not dusted with flour.
Anyway, the ones I got were the dark coloured ones that people do not find appetising, but I thought it was OK, actually I thought they looked a bit like the black Chinese mushrooms hence the name 隱姑茶果 but actually then I realised 隱姑茶果 was the name of the shop.
After reading the reviews on OpenRice, I found out they were called 雞屎籐 teacakes, made from a herb called 雞屎籐 (Paederia scandens).
For me, they tasted Ok, slightly chewy, and sweet, the size was bite-sized.
It costs $4 for 4.
Apart from looking like Chinese mushrooms, they reminded me of Beadlet Anemones found in rocky shores around all coasts of the UK
