Qiaotoubian Ba-wan. The earliest Qiaotoubian Ba-wan started from the first generation Grandma Liao's small food cart. It first set up a stall in the downtown area of Nantou City, and later opened a storefront at the Qiaotou on Zhongshan Street. The earliest Qiaotoubian Ba-wan started from the first generation Grandma Liao's small food cart. It first set up a stall in the downtown area of Nantou City, and later opened a storefront at the Qiaotou on Zhongshan Street, and has now been passed down to the third generation. Even after dinner time, the entire shop is still full of customers. Their ba-wan are made with glutinous rice, rice flour, and sweet potato starch, steamed first and then deep-fried to achieve a chewy texture. The filling uses fresh pork with a higher proportion of lean meat. It is said that to maintain quality, lard is refined from pork plate fat, which gives it that old-fashioned lard aroma. Despite being a budget-friendly delicacy, it requires so much effort, no wonder it has consistently won the affection of Nantou locals. Address: 南投縣南投市三和三路51號 Hours: 00:00–23:59 Nantou
