Liao Mu Cheng Century-Old Store Entrance Crisp Introduction
Take a stroll to Liao Mu Cheng's century-old shop and taste the famous "crispy dumplings," a must-try when visiting Jiufen. The Liao family’s crispy dumplings have been passed down through four generations, featuring intricate handmade dough that blends delicious flavors within, filled with various ingredients, and baked to achieve a delightful crispness and aromatic aftertaste. Experts rave about them. Due to the crispy, fragrant first bite and the harmonious melding of the crust and filling, they aptly earned the name "crispy upon entry." Liao Mu Cheng was founded by Liao Ke Ai, and the second-generation owner, Liao Mu Cheng, gained fame for the crispy pastries while working as a chef in a Japanese club, which is why the name "Liao Mu Cheng" is still used today. Over the years, Liao Mu Cheng has expanded its offerings from the original crispy dumplings to include recommended delicacies like sugar scallions, braised pork buns, grass cakes, and taro cakes. The highlight remains the variety of crispy dumplings, with flavors such as taro, red bean, green bean, white bean, and green tea for sweet varieties, and shredded radish for savory. Made with quality ingredients, a light bite reveals soft, fragrant fillings and crispiness, proving the century-old craftsmanship is well-deserved.
