Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings Introduction
Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings, which has been selling rice dumplings in Shimen District for nearly thirty years, is known as the ancestor of rice dumplings in the area. Many years ago, the owner, Liu Guosheng, set up a stall in front of the "Shibawang Gong Temple," focusing on selling rice dumplings and establishing the reputation of "Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings." Over a decade ago, the owner opened a shop on Zhongyang Road in Shimen City and officially hung the sign for "Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings." Due to high daily sales, the shop employs over ten people to take shifts in tying and wrapping dumplings, with skilled hands ranging from grandmothers to brides from other places. About Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings: In the early 1970s, the offerings at the "Shibawang Gong Temple" became increasingly popular, attracting many people who come to worship the victims of maritime disasters. It was circulated among worshippers that offering hot food as a sacrifice would be more effective, so Liu Guosheng, who was selling rice dumplings around Shimen Cave, began occasionally pushing his stall to the Shibawang Gong Temple to sell dumplings. As a result, his rice dumpling business flourished, and offerings of rice dumplings were created. To focus on producing rice dumplings, Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings moved from a small space of three or four ping in an alley to Zhongyang Road in Shimen City, officially displaying the sign "Liu Family Sticky Rice Dumplings."
