Mountain Legend Fresh Milk Mochi Introduction
"Shanchong Legend Fresh Milk Mochi," located in Neiwan Old Street, was established in April 2000. The name signifies a hope to sell unique food products in Neiwan Village, aspiring to become a legend in Neiwan. Using pure fresh milk, they create innovative Hakka delicacies—fresh milk mochi and fresh milk beef wash mochi—delicious treats that melt in your mouth, suitable for everyone from infants to the elderly. These Hakka delicacies are essential souvenirs that must be bought when visiting Neiwan. The famous "wet" mochi—beef wash! This beef wash mochi is a unique afternoon snack in Hakka villages. Historically, most Hakka people lived on the hillside, and while farmers went up the mountain to farm, Hakka women would make mochi using glutinous rice at home, as glutinous rice is the best food to stave off hunger. Why use brown sugar ginger syrup? For health reasons; brown sugar is to cool down, "to prevent farmers from heatstroke while working on the mountain," while the ginger syrup is to ward off cold, "to protect against the northwestern rain in mountain areas, keeping farmers warm." The name "beef wash" refers to the dessert of putting mochi into ginger syrup, as its shape resembles water buffalo leisurely relaxing in the pond during early farming breaks, hence the name.
