Dongbanxiang Traditional Rice Food House Introduction
"East Rice Cake Aroma Traditional Rice Shop" originates from the Hakka people in Zhudong, with the founder, Liu Ronghua, whose mother, Luo Lin Sanmei, cultivated lemongrass in Chishang Township during her youth and made Hakka snacks, rice cakes, and meat dumplings to sell on trains. In 1969, the founder moved to Chenggong Township on the East Coast to make a living and discovered there were no Hakka snacks being sold locally. To cater to the local "fishermen's" habit of eating rice, the second generation (Liu Ronghua) decided to sell Hakka rice dishes based on memories from his hometown. With a significant Han and indigenous population in the area, he created "Rice Cake" as the primary product to bridge the gap. Liu's Rice Cake doesn't have a storefront but sells freshly made Hakka delicacies from a small cart next to the market, gaining popularity for over fifty years and becoming one of the local bestsellers. After the third generation, Liu Junliang, took over the business, he renamed it "East Rice Cake Aroma" to help more people recognize Hakka cuisine, hoping to inspire children working away to return home and continue the family tradition. The three generations of East Rice Cake Aroma carry on the excellent skills of the Hakka grandmothers, upholding the spirit of hard work and touching food lovers with their traditional flavors! In the future...
