Reviews
In Taipei, Changhua meatballs are also a well-known store. They operate for less than three hours a day, often selling out in just over two hours. Business is very good, the environment is decent, and it should be considered an old store.
It's best to order two servings of meatballs at a time. The homemade spicy sauce is really strong; during winter, you eat and sweat at the same time and just can't stop. The sauce has a traditional flavor, and the outer skin is crispy and chewy. The filling is also very generous, with large pieces of meat paired with bamboo shoots. You can also have some broth with extra sauce after finishing your meal. You can order fish ball soup separately, which looked great from what I saw, but unfortunately it was sold out. Overall, I really enjoyed it. No wonder they sell out in two hours. It's delicious, and next time I hope to have meatballs with extra spice and fish ball soup.
Not long after the store opened at 3:30 p.m., there was a long queue for both takeout and dine-in, which probably took more than half an hour. Because it is located next to a narrow park, the queues are not affected by space. It may be the restaurant with the most obvious queues for meatballs in Changhua, Taipei City.
If it is air-conditioned for indoor use, the store will proactively ask whether to add coriander or spiciness. The large piece of minced meat is very fresh when you bite into it, but the shredded bamboo shoots inside are thicker, the skin is soft, and the pink sauce is sweet. After taking a few bites, you can clearly see that the meatballs are soaked in oil, so you need a diet that can tolerate the oiliness.
You can also ask the store to add clear soup for free to turn it into assorted broth. This seems to be more common in Nantou or southern steamed meatballs. However, when used for fried meatballs, the oil in the clear soup is extremely hot and difficult to eat. I don’t like it. recommend.
It may be worth mentioning that most of the famous meatball restaurants in Changhua use porcelain bowls and stainless steel forks to ensure heat resistance and safety. On the contrary, in the old meatball restaurants in Changhua in Taipei, washless dishes and chopsticks are commonly used - paper bowls are used to hold hot dishes. Oily food is probably not a good idea.
