With a respectable 3.9-star rating, this mobile bakery specializes in a single, time-honored treat: sticky rice cakes studded with dates and finished with a drizzle of honey.
Food vlogger Mark Wiens, on his epic China food tour, called these cakes "unique and delicious," emphasizing their simple yet satisfying appeal. The combination of chewy rice, sweet dates, and floral honey offers a concentrated taste of Xi’an’s street-food heritage. It’s a fleeting, essential bite for anyone exploring the bustling snack street.

“It's really sticky and gooey and sweet. It's served kind of cold, room temperature. So unique and interesting. It's not as sweet as it looked or as I thought, it is sweet but not overly sweet. I love the texture, good, hearty, sticky. Very nice.”
