Jia Yi Sticky Rice Dumpling - Quail Egg and Taro Sticky Rice Dumpling Introduction
Jia Yi Meat Dumplings, now in its third generation, is an old-established meat dumpling shop in the Shulin District. The Chen family offers nostalgic flavors of northern dumplings that attract food lovers to return during festivals to savor the delightful varieties of meat dumplings. One of Jia Yi’s signature dumplings, the "Quail Egg and Taro Dumpling," is a hidden gem known only to those in the know. Unlike common fillings, this centuries-old recipe combines quail eggs, taro, pork belly, preserved radish, mushrooms, potatoes, chestnuts, and dried shrimp, stir-fried with top-quality glutinous rice from Changhua and then steamed to perfection—an exquisite taste that connoisseurs rave about! Additionally, Jia Yi’s Liver Sausage and Bamboo Shoot Dumpling, featuring selected glutinous rice, Chinese sausage, liver sausage, potatoes, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, and dried shrimp, is also among the popular delicacies. If you enjoy Hakka flavors, don't miss the Hakka Squid Dumpling, filled with shredded squid, dried shrimp, mushrooms, tofu, and dried bamboo shoots. The Crispy Dried Fish Dumpling and Preserved Meat and Bamboo Shoot Dumpling are also rare treats available on the market, and gourmets can place orders in advance for home delivery before the Dragon Boat Festival.
