Established in 1894, this place is a must for major festivals such as Qixi and the Dragon Boat Festival, when oil rice is an essential offering to deities. Not only that, but even when someone's grandson has a coming-of-age celebration, or when someone passes the college entrance exam, people will come here to order oil rice gift boxes to give as presents. For tourists and individual customers who did not make a reservation, it's best to line up early. The steamed glutinous rice is mixed with sauce while still hot, allowing each grain to evenly absorb the flavor. It is then combined with tender, fragrant fried scallion and mushroom strips, resulting in a glossy, fragrant, and chewy texture that even ladies who usually avoid starch and worry about gaining weight end up buying in quantities of one or two jin. Oil rice is great as a main meal, boxed lunch, or late-night snack. Those who can't resist the tempting aroma can just take a portion and eat while walking, which is truly a big pleasure when shopping at the market.
