Signature Dishes
Rouyuan (肉圓)
Q and springy rather than tough; filled with meat, bamboo shoots, and half an egg yolk, with a slight oily taste.
Mianxianhu (麵線糊)
Well-seasoned, less common in Tainan, and a good pairing with rouyuan.
Gongwan soup (貢丸湯)
Two large gongwan meatballs; the overall flavor is good.
