At the far end of Zhongshan Road, inside what looks like a regular home rather than a shop, a wooden “Shuang Gao Run” sign sits by the entrance—blink and you’ll miss this rare taste of old-time treats. Here, Shuang Gao Run is two soft, chewy layers of white rice cake sandwiching a brown-sugar filling; one bite releases a deep molasses aroma, sweet yet never cloying. Doors open at 7 a.m.; when the day’s batch is gone, it’s gone. Shop specialty: Shuang Gao Run
