Liao Mu Cheng Century-Old Store Entrance Pastry Introduction
Visit Liao Mu Cheng, a century-old establishment, to try the renowned "Crispy Dumplings," a must-try when wandering around Jiufen. The Liao family's crispy dumplings have been passing down their delicious recipe for four generations, with intricate handmade dough that incorporates a variety of fillings, baked to create a delightful crispness and lingering flavors that delight connoisseurs. Because the crispy dumplings are so fragrant, with the dough and fillings blending perfectly, they later earned the name "Crispy Delight." Liao Mu Cheng was founded by Liao Ke Ai, and the second generation, Liao Mu Cheng, worked as a chef in a Japanese club, helping to establish the dumplings' fame, which is why the restaurant continues to carry the "Liao Mu Cheng" name today. Over the years, the offerings have expanded from just crispy dumplings to include local favorites like sweet scallion buns, braised pork buns, grass cakes, and taro cakes. The most impressive are the multiple flavors of crispy dumplings, with sweet varieties such as taro, red bean, green bean, white bean, and green tea, and a savory option with shredded radish. Made with quality ingredients, the fillings are soft and fragrant with a delightful crunch, truly a testament to their century-old craft.
