Signature Dishes
Mugwort rice cake
Large, with a slightly sweet and springy outer layer; the stir-fried shredded-radish filling is fragrant and contains chunks of meat. It may be somewhat oily overall; one personal experience was freezing leftovers and pan-frying them directly, without thawing, over low heat with a little oil until golden brown on both sides.
Taro rice cake
Fragrant, but it may be slightly oily; those who dislike an oily mouthfeel may want to take note.
Red tortoise cake
The peanut flavor is not overly sweet, with relatively restrained sweetness.
Meat zongzi
Generously filled and not greasy; the egg-yolk/pork-belly options have previously been quoted at different prices—NT$70, NT$80, and NT$90—so confirm the on-site price.
