Master Zeng Handmade Mochi (曾師傅手工麻糬)

Founders Zeng Tai-chang and his wife left the motorcycle-repair trade to open this mochi shop near Hualien's train station, building it into a distinct local brand known for bamboo-tube-steamed "御竹糕" alongside standard peanut and sesame mochi. Pieces are sold at a flat per-item price rather than only in bundled gift boxes, a point local food blogs highlight as unusual for the souvenir strip.
