Liao Mu Cheng Century-Old Shop Entrance Pastry Introduction
Visit Liao Mu Cheng's century-old shop to taste the famous "crisp dumplings," a must-do when exploring Jiufen. The traditional flavor of Liao family crisp dumplings has been passed down through four generations. The intricate handmade dough incorporates deliciousness within, filled with various fillings, and baked to perfection for a delightful crispness and lingering fragrance that experts highly praise. The crisp aroma of the dumplings, paired with the harmonious blend of the crust and filling, is indescribably wonderful, leading to the name "Crisp upon Entry." Liao Mu Cheng was founded by Liao Ke-ai, and the second-generation owner, Liao Mu Cheng, gained fame for his crispy pastries while working as a chef at a Japanese club, hence the shop's name carried on to present day. Over the years, Liao Mu Cheng's offerings have expanded from the original crisp dumplings to include gourmets' favorites like sugar scallions, braised pork buns, grass rice cake, and taro cake. The most exciting treat is the multi-flavored crisp dumplings, including sweet options like taro, red bean, green bean, white bean, and green tea, with savory radish shreds. Made with quality ingredients, each bite reveals a tender, crispy filling that showcases the century-old craftsmanship well-deserved of its reputation.
