It uses long glutinous rice with high water retention in Erlin, Changhua, and fresh red rice cakes. It is killed daily and carefully washed. After the cake is stir-fried with dried shrimps, mushrooms, and minced meat until fragrant, it must be stirred with bare hands to evenly distribute the ingredients and absorb the flavour.

However, in order to save the life of his great-aunt Ah The traditional old taste left by Xia, no matter how tired you are, you have to keep making it by hand. What Wu Jianhao is most proud of is the fried eel. He is very picky about the quality of the eel. In addition to the fixed suppliers, as long as the eel is slightly defective, he would rather eliminate it than put it in the pot. It is fried quickly and quickly.
