Fragrant bamboo leaves carry on a century-old tradition beyond chicken rice—Chiayi’s most celebrated local delicacy, the “rice dumpling,” began at the Air Force Market. From the very first skewer, it has grown into three shops, all using hand-picked fresh ingredients, wrapped daily and prepared by traditional methods. A wide variety and rich flavors keep pace with the times; innovative new tastes merge traditional food with modern health concepts, satisfying today’s quest for wholesome nourishment. The peanut rice dumpling is the founding creation of Mr. and Mrs. Fu-Yuan Bo: only peanuts, pork, and glutinous rice, yet irresistibly aromatic and memorable—it’s the dumpling that tests every basic skill. Glutinous rice itself is believed to ward off misfortune, while peanuts symbolize continuous good luck, making the peanut rice dumpling an essential offering during Chiayi’s worship ceremonies.
