Signature Dishes

  • Taiwanese meatball (肉圓)

    A traditional fried Taiwanese meatball with a translucent, chewy skin and pork-and-bamboo-shoot filling, topped with rice-based sauce; the skin may also be soft, the meat filling can be firm and somewhat hard, and the sauce may be balanced between sweet and salty, not too salty, and not cloyingly sweet.

  • Tofu Soup

    The tofu soup is soft and tender, and is a traditional pairing with the meatball.

  • Gongwan Soup (貢丸湯)

    A past record lists NT$20 for two gongwan meatballs in the soup; the broth is light and tasty, and the meatballs are good.
