At first glance, I thought it was a Qingtuan. Did I buy... meat? I don't know what the filling is... The taste is really unexpected, sweet and salty, and it's delicious. Several flavors look good, and I suddenly have a hard time choosing. Anyway, it's not big and not expensive, so I just try one of each flavor. I couldn't help but move to an open space with few people and quickly opened a piece to try. The green skin is wrapped with fillings in the middle. The texture is soft and sticky, and it doesn't stick to your teeth. The skin has no taste, and it depends entirely on the fillings in the middle. Later, I checked and found out that the green skin is because of the use of Artemisia selengensis mixed with glutinous rice and flour. It is said that it was only available around the Qingming Festival in the past.

The shop selling grass biscuits has a live production show next to it. They are still hot from the oven. There is red bean filling inside and the outer layer is probably covered with soybean powder. It actually feels like a donkey roll. The taste is pretty good.

It is also an old shop in Jiufen Old Street. I walked over and saw many locals buying a few boxes at once, so I quickly joined in. Because I didn’t know much, I bought three flavors, red bean, preserved radish, and taro, each for 10 NT dollars. The red bean one is very similar to the green rice dumplings we often eat. The preserved radish one is said to be the most traditional flavor and we thought we would not like it. In fact, we later found that the best taste was this old-fashioned flavor. Alas, the taro is definitely not my favorite. I should try the salted green bean. I am still curious about it now. Haha

"Kue" is a traditional Taiwanese delicacy. The fillings can be red beans, pickled cabbage, choy sum, pickled green beans, etc. In my childhood memories, this delicious taste could only be eaten during the New Year and the festivals to welcome the gods. Now it has become a special gift from Jiufen. While it is delicious, don't forget the trouble of excessive indigestion (glutinous rice products)

Also on Jiufen Old Street, I remember there are four kinds of fillings. Caozaike is a bit like the Qingtuan we eat during the Dragon Boat Festival in the south, but they look similar. However, Qingtuan is usually sweet with red bean paste filling, while Caozaike has pickled vegetables filling and salty mung bean filling! The four fillings are basically salty. What a magical taste! It’s not bad, but I can’t get used to it. The sweet one is lighter than Qingtuan. You will feel greasy if you eat too much Qingtuan, but this one is okay. It should be 3.5 yuan per piece, which is cheaper than Qingtuan and has more fillings. It’s worth a try

It is a well-known store in Jiufen. From the appearance, it looks like a Qingtuan. I didn't want to buy it, but I bought a box since I was here. I didn't expect it to taste better than I thought. I bought every flavor, sweet and salty. It was hot when I bought it, but it was good to eat hot or cold. The skin is soft and chewy. Because it is freshly made, it can only be kept for about two days when it is cold, so eat it as soon as possible. It is a recommended delicacy in Jiufen.
