Gelatin is soft and a little chewy too. It's not hard to chew and it doesn't work the teeth a lot, but the feeling it gives the tongue and palate is something special, something different. (Note: It might be described by the Soochow saying "soft, hard, firm.")
凍子軟軟的，也有些咬嚼，並不難咬，給牙的工作不多，而給舌頭、上顎的觸覺卻很特別，按蘇州有句話「軟硬勁」，就是咬凍子時用的那一種了。
