"Condensed milk," said the counterman, when I asked what's inside these walnut-shaped cookies.
"Homemade" and "delicious," he added. (Although he'd been speaking with his colleague in Russian, both of them managed full sentences, too, in perfectly good English.) The filling was a lot like dulce de leche (in color, for sure), and the cookies themselves were sweet; when I brought them out that evening, after a Cantonese dinner for eight, boy did they go fast.
