How locals do it

An old-school sticky-rice cake window. The signatures are 「条头糕」 (red bean roll) and 「双酿团」 (double-filled ball). Sweet and savoury both — locals grab these for breakfast. Eat them warm; they go hard when cold.

Don't get this wrong

Cash or Chinese QR codes, zero English. When they sell out, they close — by afternoon only one or two kinds may be left. Go in the morning for the full range.
