New Food Friday...A Ginger Theme

Even after living here for over a year, there are still so many foods I haven't tried yet and my friend Nining likes thinking of new things for me to try(sometimes I think she wants to find something I don't like...which is rare haha). Now that she knows I really like ginger, she's been making me try any food with ginger in it :)
The other day she took me to a place that sells "tahwa," and by "place" I mean a cart on the side of the road :) Tahwa is this hot, sweet soup with a really strong ginger taste. And then tofu is layered on top. The taste was pretty good, but consistency of tofu kind of weirds me out sometimes...

The second thing she made me try was a lot better. It's called "ronde" and is considered a drink, even though it's served in a bowl.
It's served with peanuts sprinkled on top and the round things are balls made of rice flour with their local sugar(kind of like brown sugar) inside. It looks weird, but it was soooooo good! I think it's my new favorite thing to have, especially on a rainy night.
