This is a business specializing in the production and operation of traditional snacks. It can be seen that the brand history of Shenzhen traditional snacks has been more than a hundred years. The oil products of traditional snacks are fried snacks, and the main varieties are oil corners, sugar rings, etc.; cakes can be divided into fermented and non-fermented types, and the main varieties are cloud cakes, Aiguo, sponge cakes, chicken chun corners, etc. In general, the main raw materials of these snacks are glutinous rice flour and sugar, which are special products in southern my country; their taste is sweet, sticky, fragrant and crispy, which suits the taste of southerners.
