It specializes in Muslim snacks, such as sweet baked wheaten cake, aiwowo (glutinous rice ball), yipin matuan (fried glutinous rice balls with sesame), shaobing (baked sesame seed cake), and fried butter cake etc. However, the most representative snack is Yuan Xiao (rice ball) with mixed fillings, such as red bean paste, sesame paste, or peanut butter.
