Finally tried the last of the trifecta featured in SF Chronicle’s article about Taiwanese food: fan tuan! . Fan tuan or sticky rice rolls are a breakfast food I grew up loving . It’s hard to find in the Bay Area and even harder to find done well . It’s one reason pop-up spots have been popular in the Bay Area to fill the niche . I stopped by Xiaoman Riceburrito to pick up their version at their ghost kitchen in San Jose . Their unique take has purple rice (like SoCal’s Huge Tree Pastry) and a very crispy Chinese donut but also has a braised egg (I’ve never seen before in fan tuan) . When I lived for a short period in Shanghai, I subsisted on dumplings and ci fan (the Shanghainese version of sticky rice rolls) and had only plain rice rolls because of the language barrier and because that’s what I saw many locals order . It wasn’t until I had a fluent translator that I realized they offered all the fillings including my favorite pork floss and pickled vegetables . Xiaoman’s version is solid although smaller than I expected and the rice is not as chewy (due to the sushi rice addition probably) and the Chinese donut is crunchier than I’m used to. I’m undecided on the braised egg though flavors are excellent . 📷 Original Purple Riceburrito $7.99 ~ 非基改紫米混加州壽司米 / Purple Rice (non-based reformed) & Sushi Rice 美國在地製造肉鬆 / Pork Floss (U.S. made), 台灣進口酸菜 / Sauerkraut (Taiwan imported), 台灣進口菜脯 / Pickled Radish (Taiwan imported), 香酥油條 / Shortbread Fritter (deep-fried breadstick), 特製滷蛋 / Braised Egg (marinated with soy sauce & Cajun seasoning) / Original Riceburrito ~ $6.99 ~ • / Sushi Rice & Glutinous Rice, Pork Floss (U.S. made), Sauerkraut (Taiwan imported), Pickled Radish (Taiwan imported), Shortbread Fritter (deep-fried breadstick), Braised Egg (marinated with soy sauce & Cajun seasoning) / Soymilk $4.50 ~ Soymilk, Non-GMO soybean, (30%) / Less Sweet (30% Sweetness) . 📍Xiaoman Riceburrito SV (San Jose, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpbayarea #yelpsiliconvalley #taiwanesefood #chinesefood #breakfastfood #sjeats #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CS2qt_bvwDS/?utm_medium=tumblr
