Longshan Temple Oyster Omelette Introduction
Located at the Longshan Temple plaza in Longshan Village, "Miaokuo Oysters” is passed down from the "Sanbudeng" in Qigu. Their oyster pancakes are made with a batter of rice flour, wheat flour, and crispy powder, filled with oysters, cabbage, chives, and celery. In addition to oyster pancakes, they also offer shrimp pancakes, shrimp rolls, squid balls, fried oysters, milkfish skin crisps, and milkfish fillets, with a special highlight being the fried taro cakes. The fried taro cake is made with taro and cookies. The taro is cooked and mashed into a taro paste, then sandwiched between two pieces of cookies and frozen for later use.
