Jinshan Li-Jia Rice Cake Shop (Fu-Pin Family Traditional Cuisine) Introduction
A well-known rice cake shop in Jinshan District that has been operating for over 30 years, it is regarded as a famous snack stall by the local population. The small stall sells only a few simple delicacies such as rice noodles, cold cakes, tapioca noodles, and grass rice cakes, yet every day, a group of fans rides or drives from other places to buy them. The main reason is the owner's dedication, Hsu Yu-eh, to the traditional methods of steaming rice into rice noodles and tapioca noodles, maintaining this practice consistently for 30 years, allowing people to taste the warmth of home-cooked meals. Particularly notable is the tapioca cake, commonly known as "alkali cake," which is made entirely without borax and is made solely from traditional rice. The process includes washing the rice, grinding it, dehydrating it, and kneading it by hand with meticulous care. Coupled with a syrup made from malt and brown sugar, the irresistible pleasure of each bite keeps you coming back for more.
