The most famous tribute sugar in Taiwan Province Province is Jinmen. Because the air is fresh, the water is fresh, the island wind is strong and the soil is dry, the peanuts produced in Jinmen are small, solid and full of flavor. After beating, the chopped flowers are added with maltose, and then crisp and cut, which becomes a crisp and delicious "tribute sugar" and the best gift that Jinmen must buy.
"pineapple cake"
In the early agricultural era of Taiwan Province Province, pineapple ranked second in the export market, and was famous for being processed into canned pineapple, beverage and jam.

In addition, the crispy skin made of natural cream completely wraps pineapple and wax gourd sauce, so "pineapple cake" got its name and became a very popular snack sketch in Taiwan Province Province.
"rice noodles"
Rice noodles first spread from Fujian to Taiwan Province Province, and now the most famous ones are "Hsinchu Rice Noodles" and "Fengkeng Rice Noodles". Because of the abundant sunshine and strong wind in Hsinchu, it is in line with the most important environmental factors for making rice noodles, so the rice noodles made are very elastic and not easy to soften after boiling. Fengkeng Rice Noodles in Changhua County are made by local villagers for generations, with a hundred years of historical background. Later, many local villagers developed outward and moved to the more prosperous Puli one after another, thus gaining the reputation of Puli rice noodles.
The biggest difference between "Hsinchu Rice Noodle" and "Fengkeng Rice Noodle" is the last production step. Hsinchu rice noodles are cooked and air-dried, which can better retain the original rice flavor of rice noodles, while Fengkeng rice noodles are cooked and air-dried to increase elasticity. The two flavors are equal and equally mouth-watering.

Because the material is mainly pork, the early local residents called it "meatballs".

The shape is round and flat, about the size of a palm, which is convenient for people to take. Because it looks like the sun, it is named "Sun Cake". Because the sun cake is a sweet maltose shortcake with delicate taste, it is a dessert sketch for the early rich, so it is called "pancake". Some people soak sun cakes in soybean milk to make malt sweeter and softer, which is convenient for the elderly and children to eat easily, so sun cakes are also called "bubble cakes".
