南機場彰化肉圓

The most amazing Changhua meatballs I ate in Taipei. Except for the white rice sauce and soy sauce seasoning, it is similar to the original one. Minced garlic is added. The filling is the same minced meat mixed with shredded bamboo shoots. The outer skin is soft and easy to bite. The store will ask if Add coriander or spice, and add the sweetness of rice sauce to create a unique level that is even better than the original.

Let’s talk about the fillings in particular. The Changhua local meatballs I have eaten so far all use prototype meat cut into small pieces for its solid texture. There are also some diced bamboo shoots in the meatballs for its crispiness. The Changhua meatballs in Taipei are made from minced meat mixed with shredded bamboo shoots to make a huge irregular-shaped meat filling. In addition to the visual effect, the Changhua meatballs at the South Airport have the best taste, with a large number of shredded bamboo shoots cut into thin strips. It can make every bite of minced meat full of sweet bamboo shoots flavor.

However, the store's opening hours are very short and the hours are also very strange: before it opens at 1:30 p.m., nearby gourmets often start queuing up, and it is usually sold out within two or three hours. It is staggered with the South Airport Night Market period, so it is not suitable as a For lunch (it's often after 2 pm when you eat it), the location and time are not conducive to ordinary office workers. You can imagine that it can only serve regular customers or a few well-known tourists.

Perhaps because of this, Changhua meatballs in Taipei have become a niche delicacy. After all, they are only fried in one pot. The food is slow and you have to wait in line. It is difficult to popularize it to the younger generation. The chefs in the store are all older. Generations may be lost once they retire. Changhua Meatballs at South Airport has even moved away from the dine-in area (perhaps most of the original customers are takeout). Fortunately, paper bowls are still provided, so I can eat standing nearby.
