Making glutinous rice balls

I ordered this selection 3 days in a row: taro cubes, peanuts, and lotus seeds with shavings of ice without any syrup. I like this shop because most other shops give you the choice of less sweet, normal sweetness or very sweet but this shop has the selection of not putting any syrup at all. The lotus seeds have the natural sweetness of roasted chestnuts so they are very tasty. Three toppings cost TWD70 (MYR 8).
This shop is famous for their glutinous rice balls which do not stick to teeth yet are soft but chewy. I chose the sweet offering rather than the savoury one with seaweed. They give free hot tea to go with this dessert.
