Wuchuan’s unique flavor snack, Ma Tong, is shaped like a banana, golden in color, crispy in the mouth, no residue when chewed, sweet and delicious. It is a traditional brand-name snack in Wuchuan and has been produced in the Qing Dynasty. Ma Tong is an ancestral skill inherited from Chen Huatang, the old man of Meilutou. Only the Chen family knows how to make it. To make Ma Tong, you need to select fragrant glutinous rice, pound it manually into powder, and then go through processes such as cooking, drying, fire, and frying. It takes fifteen days to make it. Due to the difficulty in selecting materials, multiple processes, complicated production, and thin profits, the Chen family stopped making maton for decades. Later, with the enthusiastic mobilization of relevant departments, the Chen family decided to return to their old business and bring back Ma Tong, a Wuchuan-style snack, and present it at the third Wuchuan Food Festival, allowing the general public to taste the unique Wuchuan traditional snack. . The delicious food of Ma Tong was widely praised at the food festival.
