Near the entrance to Xinpu Market in New Taipei City, customers queue for mochi, rice cake and turnip cake at a stall with no sign. It normally trades only on Saturdays, extending its schedule before Lunar New Year until goods sell out on New Year's Eve.
The marker is not a business name but the location—Xinpu Station Exit 1 and the market entrance—and a single trading day each week. Customers wait for limited time and production as much as for the food. Repeated queues turn an anonymous stall into a remembered urban place.
