Café by the Forbidden City
 

The latte with the implication of "Auspicious Snake Brings Good Fortune" has a sweet and sour taste reminiscent of candied haws. Inspired by the character "Fu" (福, which can be translated as "good fortune") written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, which is part of the Palace Museum's collection, the glyph "Fu" on the top of the cup, which is made of edible sugar paper, conveys blessings to every buyers. The Fuqi mousse (福气慕斯) flavored with cherries and black chocolate and the Fulu cake (福禄蛋糕) which also tastes like candied haws also embody joy and blessings. At this café, you can also buy snake-themed cups inspired by snake patterns from the artifacts collected by the Palace Museum, which showcase the agility and beauty of snakes.
