Bai Ji Niangao 白记年糕

Set up in the foyer of a halal supermarket on Ox Street, the Bai Family’s rice cake is made fresh daily on the spot: steamed glutinous rice spread across the wooden counter, topped with sweetened red bean paste, and then rolled up. Varieties include lü da gun, donkey rolling on the ground; huangmi niangao, sticky millet cake; and zhima niangao juan, sesame seed sticky rice cake. Equally delicious are wandou huang, tang erduo and shanzha gao.
