Food Trip 85 - Pei Pa Koa

I don't know if it is proper to label this stuff under food trip.  But during certain times, this candy proves to be beneficial.

My cousin introduced this candy to me when I had difficulties swallowing because of sore throat.  That time I felt not like taking any cough medicines because as much as possible I don't want to be dependent on commercial drugs.

I must say that on certain occasions, this candy provides a much needed relief especially when my throat feels itchy and coughing is uncontrollable.  I also introduced this one to some people I know and it worked well with them, too.  But under harsh conditions, just like what the doctors used to tell us, it is still good to pay them a visit for proper medications.
