Hsiao's Scallion Cake Introduction
Guo is an important symbol of rice food culture, and the "Scallion Layered Cake" developed in Xiluo is its essence. It is made from high-quality rice, and the process is intricate. Old indigenous rice, stored for over a year, must be selected as the material. After grinding it into rice batter and pouring it into a steaming tray, it is steamed into a thin layer, which must then be carefully stacked layer by layer to complete the dish. As a result, it features layers of different colors, earning the name "Layered Cake." "Layered Cake" can be enjoyed hot or cool, providing two distinct textures and flavors. Located beside Jianxing Road and Guangfu West Road in Xiluo, "Hsiao's Scallion Cake" has become a mainstay for breakfast among the locals. The steamed layered cake topped with fragrant crispy scallions and the local soy sauce enhances its sweet and savory flavor. The scallion cake starts selling at 5 AM each day, and it is usually sold out by around 11 AM, so visitors wanting to taste it need to wake up early for this delight!
