Liao Chi Migao

This no-frills shop near the train station has been renowned for its migao since 1955. Glutinous rice mixed with dried shrimps and shallot is steamed in ceramic ramekins (rather than bamboo tubes). The rice cake is then turned out onto a serving plate, drizzled with braised pork sauce and topped with fish floss and pickled radish. They sometimes sell out early and the shop has irregular days off, so call ahead to avoid disappointment.
