With a history of more than 80 years, “A-Yuan Savory Rice Cakes” is a hometown favorite for locals. Every plate that arrives at the table is golden and crisp—whether it’s fresh oysters, marinated minced pork, tender squid, chives, sticky rice, thick slabs of taro, or sweet-potato slices. Each ingredient is coated in a batter carefully blended from polished rice and soy beans, then deep-fried in peanut oil until it turns into a fragrant delight. When the fritter is lifted onto the chopping block and the proprietress’s cleaver comes down with a crunch, crunch, you know just how perfectly crisp it is. The warm-hearted proprietress herself is part of the charm: this little stall offers not only delicious food but also lively banter with its ever-welcoming hostess.
