Yilan Oysters Omelette Introduction
To support her family, the owner Huang Hsiu-Chin started a stall selling fried oyster cakes along the main street of Xugou, next to the old "Taiwan Route 17" in 2001. She chose to sell fried oyster cakes because local oysters are fresh and easy to source. While typical oyster cake stalls sell meat cakes as well, "Yigu Oyster Cakes" only sells oyster cakes and does not sell meat cakes. The batter for "Yigu Oyster Cakes" consists of cornstarch, yellow soybean flour, and crispy flour; the filling includes cabbage, chives, and oysters. "Yigu Oyster Cakes" only operates in the afternoon, with the cabbage and chives washed and cut in the morning and delivered to the stall in the afternoon, while the batter is mixed on-site. Aside from oyster cakes, "Yigu Oyster Cakes" also sells fried sweet potatoes, fried squid balls, and fried pastries, using a separate batter made of only cornstarch and crispy flour, resulting in golden-colored fried sweet potatoes, fried squid balls, and fried pastries, which are both aromatic and flavorful, contributing to a good business.
