Hsiao's Scallion Pancake Rice Cake Introduction
The cake is an important symbol of rice food culture, and the "Scallion Nine-Layer Cake" developed in Xiluo is the essence of it. It not only uses high-quality rice, but the process is also intricate. It requires old fragrant rice, stored for over a year, as the main ingredient, which is ground into rice milk and poured into a steaming tray. After steaming into a thin layer, it must be carefully layered upon one another to be considered complete. Therefore, it is special to see the cake with layers of different colors, giving rise to the name "Nine-Layer Cake." The "Nine-Layer Cake" can be eaten hot or is also suitable for cooling down, offering two different textures and flavors. Located beside Jiansing Road and Guangfu West Road in Xiluo, "Xiao’s Scallion Cake" has almost become a main breakfast choice for the people of Xiluo. The steamed Nine-Layer Cake, paired with fragrant fried scallions and Xiluo's special soy sauce for flavor enhancement, adds to the cake's fresh sweetness and fragrance. The scallion cake is sold starting at 5 a.m. every morning, and by around 11 a.m., it's usually sold out. Tourists from outside should come early to enjoy this delicacy!
