This cheap eatery doesn't have an English name, but it's Chinese name translates to Wong's Family Pepper Cake.  This stall is one of the most famous one in Taiching and often you have to wait at least ten minutes for your order as they are all freshly made.

It is just a small stall on the main road, but I couldn't get across the road to take a photo as there was a lot of traffic, so I have sourced this photo from a local blogger's review of this place which you can see by [**clicking here**](https://orange-dog.com/huangs/).  There is no menu for this place, but in this photo you can just about see a sign above the red counter.  The green top line is the original flavour, and the bottom red line is cheese.  Each one cost USD1.30.

The pepper cakes are savoury toasted buns  with a minced pork filled and heavily seasoned with pepper to give it a kick.  That's what makes it so yummy.  I made a video of the owner making the buns and had a nice chat with him while he was working. He was very nice and didn't mind me taking the video at all.  I have screen capped a few photos to share.  Each bun has a generous filling of minced pork, then he scoops a massive portion of spring onions on top.  It looks like the filling will burst out, but he gradually gathers the dough and seals it into a bun  like those in the front.

Before the buns are baked, they spread sesame on top to give it a bit more crunch on the outside.

Next the buns are ready to got into the coal stove to be baked.   You can see the coal at the bottom. The buns are placed on the side of the stove just like making naan bread.  They are quite heavy with the filling, so I don't understand how they can stick to the side and don't fall down.

And finally, after a ten minute wait, here's our order.  We ordered an original flavour with spring onions, but you can order ones with cheese instead.  The buns were very hot so we had to wait a while before we could tuck in.  And once we did, we forgot to take photos of the filling but it was good!

Unless stated (ie the exterior), all photos are taken by myself.

I love small stores like this especially in Taiwan - cheap and cheerful. Its great you were able to see how its made and it was stuffed with so much filling and then seeing the process of how its made. Great review!
