Chuu then said, “Ya, if you eat this, you’ll get diabetes”. The production team of the Youtube content asked Chuu if it was the first time she ate Tanghulu, Chuu replied, “Yes”, surprising everyone.

Regarding the reason why she didn’t try Tanghulu before, Chuu said, “I think food sold on the streets is not very healthy. I thought ‘Ah~ kids who eat such things may die early?’. But I like this taste”.
