Dried beancurd is a well-known specialty of Daxi, especially dried black beans, which originated from the four generations of Huangri Xiang, which has been passed down for more than 7 years. The founder of its business, Huangwu, was aware that dried beancurd was easy to spoil, so he invented dried black beans dyed with caramel to extend its shelf life. The secret of delicious dried black beans lies in mixing spices when grinding soybean milk, so that the dried beans are full of fragrance both inside and outside, especially after being marinated and cooled before eating, and the taste is better.

In addition to Huangri Xiang, which has a long history, there are old shops that make dried beancurd, such as Huangdaimu and Wan Li Xiang, which have a history of more than 6 years. And many dried bean curd shops have become the main street view in Daxi Town. In addition to dried black beans, garlic, sand tea, marinated sauce and other packaged dried beans, the marinated dried black beans, vegetarian chicken and vegetarian belly are delicious and hot, with a little garlic juice and pepper, and a handful of coriander sprinkled on them. The taste is unforgettable.

Sweet potato cake is another native product of Daxi. In the past, Daxi people steamed sweet potatoes and mashed them into mud, mixed them with brown sugar and glutinous rice flour, wrapped them in thin dough, and baked them into sweet potato cakes with colors and shapes like full moon. It is not only an indispensable food for Daxi people in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also a delicious snack in their daily lives. The stuffing of delicious sweet potato cake is soft, sweet but not greasy, and the skin is thin but not hard. However, because the stuffing of sweet potato is not durable, it has to be made daily, so freshness is the first factor to enjoy sweet potato cake. Almost all the cake shops in Daxi Town sell sweet potato cakes, but Hezhenxiang, Yongzhenxiang and Zhenxinxuan, which are century-old shops, are more famous. In addition, taro cakes, white bean paste cakes and curry cakes made from taro with betel nut heart are also worth a try.

In addition to dried bean curd and sweet potato cake, the century-old oil rice that has been passed down for four generations, the bowl and bowl of Li Changma that is full of human feelings, the belly-nourishing class with a complete collection of game, and Zhengfeng rice bran and Lai Mama tofu pudding that evoke childhood delicacies are all unforgettable good tastes when you travel around the river.

The development history of Taoyuan is not too long, so it lacks the "historic" food characteristics. However, there are considerable geographical differences between towns and villages, which affect the eating habits of Taoyuan people. For example, seafood in coastal areas and geese and ducks raised in the pond, peanuts are abundant in Zhongli and Longtan due to poverty, and Shimen Reservoir, Beiheng, Dahanxi and other places with mountains and waters also provide endless supplies.

Although Taoyuan snacks failed to make a name in the vast Taiwan Province food list, they have also created a sky of regional snacks by virtue of decades of accumulated experience, such as the old brand Xinming beef noodles, Jinhedong powder pills and so on. Xinhong Goose Shop, on the other hand, takes advantage of the new house to be rich in goose meat, establishing the authoritative position of goose meat monopoly. In addition, the color of local ethnic groups is integrated into Yunnan-Myanmar flavor, creating Yunnan village cuisine. The peanut candy in Longtan, the live fish in Shimen, and the products produced in Daxi Mountain and Creek can all give full play to local characteristics, enrich the diversity of Taoyuan cuisine and give diners more choices.
