Xiluo Black Rice Cake Introduction
Sticky rice cake made from glutinous rice is, without further introduction, a famous snack in the town. Most shops still follow the traditional method of making "cylinder rice cake," although the ancient clay rice cake tubes have been replaced by metal ones. Nonetheless, rice cakes can still be found everywhere in Xiluo. After passing the bustling street market on Jianxing Road, there is a small shop across from the Xiluo Fruit and Vegetable Market. It has no sign, only two yellow fabric flags that say "rice cake." The second-generation owner, who has been in business for 50 years, jokingly mentions that even the flags were made only two months ago at the request of customers. The steamer used for making rice cake has a rich old-fashioned flavor after 50 years, and the rice cake here is known only to locals, offering a solid, smooth, and tender texture that is very delicious. For 50 years, the shop has only sold rice cake, rib soup, and rice pudding, sticking to traditional flavors. Rice cake, rib soup
