台中向上市場附近一家專賣米糕跟碗粿的店，店名設計的還蠻舒適而且顯眼的，騎車路過的時候都會看到，今天特別跑來這裡吃午餐！

🔶澎湃米糕
🔶奶糖碗粿
🔶味增湯

點了店裡米糕的頂配版本，裡面有特選秈糯、手切滷肉、小黃瓜、旗魚酥、炒花生，內容物還蠻豐富的，口味上還算不錯⋯中規中矩，最特別的還是甜的碗粿，可以試試看！

There is a shop specializing in rice cakes and rice cakes near Taichung Market. The name of the shop is very comfortable and eye-catching. You will see it when you pass by by bicycle. I especially came here to have lunch today!

🔶Pengpai rice cake
🔶Toffee bowl cake
🔶Miso soup

I ordered the top version of the rice cake in the store, which contains specially selected indica glutinous rice cakes, hand-cut braised pork, cucumbers, swordfish crisps, and fried peanuts. The content is quite rich, and the taste is pretty good... It’s quite average, the most special thing. The rice cakes are still sweet, you can try them!

碗粿的口感是我從來沒有嚐過的新體驗，不知道該如何形容的美味。甜糕個人就比較吃不習慣。米糕也不錯。有機會現場再試試看所有菜色。

The texture of the bowl cake is a new experience that I have never tasted before. I don’t know how to describe the deliciousness. Personally, I am not used to eating sweet cakes. Rice cakes are also good. Have the chance to try all the dishes on site.

米其林必比登加持的小吃一定要來品嚐一下，營業時間只有到下午六點。我們有點事情，趕過來是快三十五分，老闆本來已經準備關門，看到我們進來，抱歉的說現在只剩下一份米糕，其它的都沒有了。所以我們就叫了最後一份米糕，加上花生等配料來分享。

一面吃一面跟老闆聊天，知道他是
來自嘉義的第三代傳承，米糕口味比較像油飯做法，不像前天吃的清水米糕口味。老闆說他們家的碗粿是接近麻豆風味，裡面有滷肉，還可以品味到米的香味，可惜今天沒有機會品嚐，等下次有機會再過來吧。

Be sure to try the Michelin Bib Gourmand snacks, which are only open until 6 p.m. We had something to do, and it was almost thirty-five when we came here. The boss was already preparing to close the shop. When he saw us coming in, he apologized and said that there was only one rice cake left and nothing else. So we ordered the last rice cake with peanuts and other toppings to share.

Chatting with the boss while eating, knowing that he is
Coming from the third generation of Chiayi, the rice cake tastes more like oil rice, not like the clear water rice cake I had the day before yesterday. The boss said that their bowl cakes are close to the flavor of Madou, with braised meat inside, and you can also taste the aroma of rice. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to taste it today. I’ll come back next time when I have the opportunity.
