5. Sweet Soup & Dessert — Yu Pin Yuan Binghuo Tangyuan
A Michelin Bib Gourmand pick and a must-try in Raohe Night Market. Their unique “hot and cold” style features freshly cooked glutinous rice balls served over shaved ice—the filling bursts as you bite, with a chewy skin. Served with osmanthus honey or fermented rice broth, it’s sweet but never cloying, making it irresistibly moreish.
