Jia Qi Sweets Station is a well-known fixture at Auckland Night Markets, celebrated for its handcrafted Dragon’s Beard Candy, recognised as one of Auckland’s Iconic 100 Eats in 2025.
Led by Master Wang Peng, the stall showcases the traditional art of hand-pulled candy making. Freshly spun sugar is stretched into fine strands and wrapped around fillings like peanuts, coconut and sesame, creating a light, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
You’ll find Jia Qi Sweets Station across Auckland Night Market locations including Pakuranga, Botany, Papatoetoe, Henderson, Glenfield and Mt Wellington, depending on the day.
Part performance, part dessert, it’s a memorable stop within Auckland’s night market scene. For the latest locations and timings, check Auckland Night Markets or follow @jia.qi.sweets.sta3 on TikTok.
