Quanli Rice Puffs

Review

Quanli Rice Puffs sits on Xin'er Road in Xinyi District, not far from Xinyi Market. According to souvenir roundups by Gofunit and Supertaste, it started as a bakery, later switched to making rice puffs only, and made its name with what it calls the first chilled rice puff. It now regularly appears on lists of Keelung souvenirs, alongside the old cake shops near Miaokou as a local gift choice.

It offers over twenty flavors; sources differ slightly, with one saying 26 and another more than 20, ranging from classic and brown sugar to creative ones like green tea and wasabi. Chilled, the puffs are crisper and not overly sweet; each piece is individually wrapped and advertised as preservative-free, which makes sharing easy. No source lists prices, so check the in-store tags for boxes and single packs.

Diners praise the friendly staff who offer tastings, the many flavors and fair prices, calling it ideal as a gift; some foreign visitors also describe it as a tasty local snack. Complaints are few, mainly that some flavors are a bit sweet and that the puffs are bulky and take up luggage space.

It opens roughly from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with small differences between sources. The shop is on Xin'er Road, about a ten-minute walk from Keelung Station, with Xinyi Market nearby to browse. Xin'er Road has heavy traffic and parking is inconvenient, so walk or take a bus.

It suits anyone looking for a Keelung souvenir beyond Miaokou's classic pastries, with fresh flavors and easy sharing, and old-style snack lovers of all ages. On a first visit, sample a few, pick a mixed box as a gift and grab a classic pack for yourself.
