Hsiao's Scallion Oil Rice Cake Introduction
Rice cakes are an important symbol of rice food culture, and the "Oil Onion Nine-Layer Cake" developed in Xiluo is the essence of it. It not only uses high-quality rice but also has a complicated production process, requiring the selection of aged rice that has been stored for over a year as the main ingredient. After grinding it into rice paste, it is poured into a steaming tray and steamed into thin layers, which must be carefully stacked to complete the cake. As a result, it features distinctly colored layers, and the name "Nine-Layer Cake" quickly spreads. The "Nine-Layer Cake" can be eaten hot or enjoyed cold, offering two different textures and flavors. Located beside Jianxing Road and Guangfu West Road in Xiluo, "Xiao's Oil Onion Cake" has almost become the main breakfast choice for the locals. After steaming, the nine-layer cake is topped with fragrant crispy fried shallots and Xiluo's specialty soy sauce to enhance its sweet and savory flavors. The oil onion cake starts selling at 5 AM every morning and is usually sold out by around 11 AM. Visitors coming from afar should rise early to experience this delicacy!
