The "Tamsui Ferry Pier A-Ge Old Shop" is located on Tamsui Old Street and can be said to be one of the pioneers of the local A-Ge. In the past, this place was always crowded with people, and all the seats were filled, so one had to wait a while to eat. However, on this visit, I found that the lively atmosphere of the old shop seemed to be less than before. I am not sure if it's because Tamsui Old Street has lost some popularity or if the shop itself has lost its appeal; there were quite a few empty seats inside, which created a stark contrast to the busy scenes I remembered.
The taste of A-Ge still retains its traditional flavor, with fried tofu filled with glass noodles, accompanied by a slightly sweet sauce. The taste is good, but not particularly amazing. It has a nostalgic Taiwanese flavor that evokes memories of strolling through the old street. However, compared to new trendy snacks, the flavors here seem a bit simple. In addition to A-Ge, the shop also offers fish ball soup, and having it together makes for a typical old street meal.
In conclusion, the "Tamsui Ferry Pier A-Ge Old Shop" is worth revisiting for a taste of history, especially for those who grew up in Tamsui or have memories of Tamsui. However, if you are looking to try something new or seek unique flavors, the traditional taste here may not fully satisfy.
