Foreigners savor sweet-sour-spicy pickles

"It was a really new taste for me, salty, sweet and spicy. And I liked it," she said, adding that now she often eats suanye after dinner as a snack, each time costing about 10 to 15 yuan ($1.4 to $2).

She got a chance to make suanye for the first time at the Beijing event. She plans to cook it for her family when she returns home soon.

Pakistani student Muhammad Qamer Abbas, 25, from Beijing University of Chemical Technology, said the food reminds him of his hometown, where locals also mix powder with fruit.

"We often eat pickled fruit at lunch together with other food during the summer season," he said, adding that the preparation technique is also very similar.
