Da-Qiao-Tou Tube Rice Pudding (Yanping North Road)

Though technically in a night market, this third-generation family business is only open from dawn till dusk. Since 1973, the regulars have been returning for its steamed sticky rice that is chewy but never mushy. Year-old aged rice is mixed with fried scallion and garlic before steamed with lean or fatty pork. It tastes best with homemade sweet chilli sauce and spicy radish sauce. Also try the oyster soup steeped in umami and plump oysters.
