Malipo Sand Cake

　　The sand cake of Malipo has been widely made in streets and rural areas for over 100 years. During festivals and holidays, most households would make it. Sticky rice is roasted until fragrant, ground into rice flour, then mixed evenly with a small amount of water and brown sugar before being pressed into wooden molds or compacted in small steel molds to form the cake. Once made, the sand cake is fragrant, sweet, soft, and moist, often served as a gift for family and friends. In 1986, it was rated as a high-quality product at the third provincial "Famous Local Specialty Foods" trade fair.
