Jinshan Li Family Rice Cake Shop (Fu Pin Family Traditional Cuisine) Introduction
A well-known rice cake shop in Jinshan District, operating for over 30 years, is a beloved snack stall among locals. This small stall offers only a few simple delicacies, including rice noodles, chilled rice cake, starch noodles, and herbal rice cake, yet it attracts a group of fans who travel from other places by motorcycle or car every day. The main reason is the owner, Hsu Yu-eh's dedication to the traditional method of steaming indigenous rice into rice noodles and starch noodles for 30 years, which evokes the warm taste of home. Particularly, the starch cakes, commonly known as "alkaline cakes," are made entirely from indigenous rice without the use of borax. The process involves washing the rice, grinding it, and drying it, all done by hand with meticulous care. Combined with syrup made from malt and brown sugar, the delightful experience of taking one bite after another is truly irresistible.
