The Highlight of Dam Village's Chung Cake
The Chung cake here boasts a unique flavor, a harmonious blend of fragrant glutinous rice, green beans, and savory pork, without being overly rich. This is considered a special attraction that only the people of Dam Village can create. Notably, the water used for boiling the Chung cake must be rainwater, and the pot must be made of tin for the Chung cake to taste its best when cooked.
Upon unwrapping, a vibrant green color greets you. The rich, fatty aroma of the green bean filling combined with the pork, along with a hint of pepper, allows eaters to savor the essence of nature. To enhance the rich flavor, you can enjoy it with pickled vegetables or fresh herbs.
