Hsiao Jia Scallion Cake Introduction
Rice cakes are an important symbol of rice food culture, and the "Scallion Nine-Layer Cake" developed in Xiluo is the essence of it. Not only does it use high-quality rice, but the production process is also intricate. It requires the selection of aged rice that has been stored for over a year. After grinding it into a rice paste, it is poured into a steaming tray, and after steaming into a thin layer, it must be carefully stacked layer by layer to complete the dish. As a result, the unique appearance with layers of different colors earns it the name "Nine-Layer Cake." The "Nine-Layer Cake" can be enjoyed hot or at room temperature, offering two distinct textures and flavors. Located next to Jianxing Road and Guangfu West Road in Xiluo, "Xiao's Scallion Cake" has almost become a staple breakfast for the locals. The freshly steamed nine-layer cake topped with fragrant crispy scallions and the local soy sauce paste enhances the cake’s sweet and savory flavors. Starting sales at 5 a.m. every morning, the scallion cakes are usually sold out by around 11 a.m., so visitors should arrive early to enjoy this treat! Store specialties: Scallion cake, skin soup.
