Steamed glutinous rice is portioned and topped or folded around savory additions such as cured meat, pickles, crisp pork and chili. Each stall has its own standard mixture. The rice is dense and sticky, while the toppings supply salty, crunchy and spicy contrasts. It can be a complete breakfast despite a compact shape.
