On our way to the old police station, my friend and I thought we'd stop here for a bite but we totally missed it, but luckily we found it on our way back. Decor & Hygiene & Service:Like all the other places that we stopped by, this place was old and dark, but it looked clean. One old guy in the back was making the peanut mochi (花生糯米滋)and one was in the front passing the already made glutinous rice dumplings to customers and handling money.

Like all the other places that we stopped by, this place was old and dark, but it looked clean. One old guy in the back was making the peanut mochi (花生糯米滋)and one was in the front passing the already made glutinous rice dumplings to customers and handling money. They sure did have a system going. It must be the culture of Tai O because these two old gentlemen were really friendly as well like everyone else we've met. You could taste that every dumpling made was made with heart and served with heart. Each was individually wrapped and covered so that the bugs would do them no harm.
Taste & Value:There were 2 different kinds of dumplings and each had 2 flavours to choose from. All were $5. For tourists or foreigners who don't know the difference, here is a little hint. Although both use glutinous rice flour and are steamed,the mochi (糯米滋) are always sweet and are rolled in glutinous rice four at the end, making it all powdery.
For the Cha Guo (茶果), you could have a peanut filling, which was sweet or a savoury one that had a black eyed pea filling. I chose the black eyed pea one because I wanted a peanut filling mochi (花生糯米滋) so I didn't want them both to be peanut filled even though I love peanuts.
It was my first time having a non Chiu Chow Cha Guo so I didn't know what to expect. The outside was sticky but the filling interestingly had a dry, paste-like texture. I wasn't sure what else was in it, but the black eyed pea cha guo(眉豆茶果) was really good. It also was very hot, so you know that it was freshly made!
For the mochi, your choices were peanuts 花生糯米滋 or red bean paste豆沙糯米滋. After having the Cha Guo, I was really looking forward to my peanut mochi (花生糯米滋) and it didn't disappoint me. It had just the right amount of peanuts, coconut shreds, sugar and sesame? However, since everything in the filling were crumbs, it was really messy to eat. Oh well, I can put up with that since I don't have to worry being caught on camera with peanuts of flour all over my face. $10 got me so full and satisfied so I declare that this money was well spent!
When I left, I bought 4 red bean ones and 1 peanut one to go for my family to try and they too thought that they were really good. My sister commented that she liked that the outer layer was thin and not thick unlike some other places. Final Verdict:
Of course I'd be back!
