Longshan Temple Oyster Omelette Introduction
Located in the square of Longshan Temple in Longshan Village, "Temple Mouth Oysters" is inherited from the "San Bu Deng" of Qigu. Their oyster cakes are made with a batter of bean flour, wheat flour, and crisp flour, filled with oysters, cabbage, chives, and celery. In addition to oyster cakes, they also offer shrimp cakes, shrimp rolls, squid balls, oyster soup, milkfish skin crisp, milkfish fillets, and a special deep-fried taro cake. The taro cake is made from taro and cookies. The taro is cooked and mashed into puree, then sandwiched between two cookies and frozen for later use. When customers order it, the cake is defrosted and then deep-fried until lightly golden, served hot and crisp on the outside while soft on the inside, with the aroma of both taro and cookies, making it very popular among diners. In the nearby area, apart from the Sangu seafood street, "Temple Mouth Oysters" is the only place selling these delicacies, making it hard to find elsewhere! The owner, Mrs. Yang, operates this stall because her husband, Yang Ruixing, runs the Rui Xing No. glamping raft in Qigu Lagoon, taking tourists for a tour of the lagoon. Therefore, she sells oyster cakes, shrimp rolls, squid balls, and oyster soup, all made from freshly caught fish from the fixed nets in Qigu Lagoon, allowing tourists to enjoy the pristine flavors of the sea while exploring the lagoon on a raft. Later, due to the coastline of Qigu Lagoon receding and changes in the terrain, she found herself at home. In 2015, she heard that the space in front of Longshan Temple was available for rent, so she came to lease it.
