Zhilanzhai Cake Dry

　　Zhilanzhai Cake Dry is a famous specialty snack from Tianjin. It is made by grinding Xiaozhan rice and glutinous rice into flour, stuffing it with various fillings, and then steaming it. The name comes from the brand "Zhilanzhai" that created it. This is a time-honored brand with over 60 years of history. The founder of Zhilanzhai opened a shop on Shen Zhuang Street in Tianjin to produce and sell the cake dry. Thanks to its high quality and low price, it quickly became popular among locals, especially as a favorite food during the first lunar month. It has been passed down to this day and remains one of the distinctive snacks. What sets it apart from other types of cakes is that it contains fillings inside. Zhilanzhai Cake Dry has a clean white appearance, doesn’t stick to the teeth, doesn’t crumble, offers a soft texture, and has a unique flavor.
