Huzhou Zhulaoda Zongzi is the oldest Zongzi in China, with a history of 133 years. It was founded in Huzhou, Zhejiang during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the traditional time-honored restaurants in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Laoda Zongzi pioneered the beautiful pillow-style Zongzi. It pays attention to the selection of materials, excellent production skills, and has its own characteristics in color, aroma, taste and shape. It is known as the "Zongzi No. 1".

The rice dumplings of "Zhu Laoda" are not the triangular rice dumplings we are familiar with, but are rectangular. Because they are shaped like pillows, they are called pillow-shaped rice dumplings.

Does the shape have a big impact on the quality of rice dumplings? Yes. The emphasis on pillow-shaped rice dumplings is to have fillings in the mouth. The fillings are spread evenly in the rice dumplings in a whole strip, giving each bite the fullest flavor. In addition, the slender shape of the pillow-shaped rice dumplings allows the inside and outside of the rice dumplings to be heated more evenly during the cooking process and has a better taste. With the addition of real ingredients, the taste is far better than triangular rice dumplings.

Famous food expert Tang Lusun once said: "Huzhou rice dumplings are also well-known throughout the country. Almost all the roasted pork rice dumplings sold in Taipei are called Huzhou rice dumplings. This proves that Huzhou rice dumplings are widely spread. Boss, then no one knows and no one knows."
