Make and enjoy traditional rice cakes in our beautifully restored Taiwanese Sanheyuan courtyard, while learning the festive stories and cultural meaning behind them.

From raw rice to steamed Ang-Ku-Kueh, you’ll grind, shape, and steam every step by hand. We’ll also explore unique Taiwanese rice varieties and take a short guided tour of the house.

• All attendees—including accompanying caregivers—must be registered at NTD 1,400 per person. Unregistered guests are not allowed due to space and safety limitations.

Course Highlights

2. Handmade 6 Ang-Ku-Kueh:

   • Fillings include classic sweet red bean paste.

   • We’ll blend two rice types into a slurry and knead it into rice dough, stuff it with fillings, and shape it using vintage tortoise-pattern molds handed down through generations.

   • Cakes are set on ginger-shell leaves(月桃葉) and traditionally steamed over an open hearth.

   • You’ll take home all your handmade cakes along with the recipe.

3. Sanheyuan Cultural Tour: Walk through our restored family courtyard and discover how we’re preserving Taiwan’s rice traditions through food, architecture, and storytelling.
