Rice noodles-a godsend food blown by bamboo wind
Thanks to the strong bamboo wind all the year round, the rice flour manufacturing industry has taken root and developed in Hsinchu for a hundred years. Although it is mostly changed to machine baking now, the bamboo wind once blew a glorious history, but it cannot be erased. After automatic production, the taste of rice noodles is more diverse. Besides pure rice noodles, there are vegetable rice noodles, taro rice noodles, assorted rice noodles, etc. Notre Dame, Buddha, white elephant and farming are all quite well-known brands. If you want to eat the ready-made authentic Hsinchu rice noodles, you can have a taste at the snack bars in the city or the famous Chenghuang Temple snacks.
Tribute pill-a golden signboard with thousands of hammers.
To make meatballs, we must use fresh warm pork, remove tendons and oil, chop it up, mash it, add seasonings, and then make it into pellets. Most of the famous snack bars in Hsinchu make their own tribute pills by hand, but each family has its own unique taste because of its different meat, hammering or seasoning. In addition, two famous brands, Hairui and Jinyi, which set up factories to mass-produce and emphasize hygiene, not only supply most of Hsinchu's goods, but also carefully design gift boxes for packaging.
Bamboo Cut Cake —— The ancient delicacy with a hundred years' fragrance
Local people call it "Hsinchu Meat Pie" or "Cake Pie", which is a salty cake filled with fat pork, red onion and winter melon sugar. Hsinchu used to be called "Bamboo Pie" and named it Bamboo Pie, which has a profound meaning of preserving the flavor of the ancient capital. After baking, the bamboo-cut cake has a crisp skin and a soft filling, and it is naturally mouth-watering. Among them, the time-honored Xinfuzhen Bakery, which was founded in 1898, is still the most famous.
