Whenever I pass by the neighborhood on weekend mornings, I will have a Changhua meatball!

Every time I come, I have to wait in line for about 30 minutes. After waiting for so long, of course I order a big bowl. The meatballs are not divided into different sizes, and the big bowl means two!

The skin of the meatballs is just right. My favorite thing is the shredded bamboo shoots inside. The finishing touch makes the greasy meatballs a little more refreshing. The pork is large and solid, not overly seasoned, and paired with the store's homemade sauce. , definitely a good choice for a sinful weekend brunch!

I feel very full after eating a large portion of meatballs. Most of the time I won’t order fish ball soup, but the store provides free soup stock, which you can use yourself. It’s also good to scoop some soup to clear your taste buds after eating.

If you want to take it home and reheat it later to eat, you can tell the boss not to cut the meatballs. After steaming, drain off the excess water and cut them again to prevent it from becoming too wet and the taste will be diluted!

In Taipei, there are several Changhua meatball restaurants, and the flavor is no less than the original.

I have eaten meatballs from both north and south of Dajiang (Zhuoshui River), and solid pieces of meat are a must-have. The Ah Choi meatballs are topped with pink rice sauce, which is supposed to be a southern flavor, with a sweet taste and a thick texture that can greatly offset the oiliness of the fried meatballs.

After eating, there will still be the oily feeling common to Changhua meatballs, so it is best to finish it as early as possible while it is hot. However, those who like Changhua meatballs must have long been accustomed to it. After all, the oiliness is one of the secrets of deliciousness.

The store only sells meatballs and fish ball soup. Needless to say, this kind of snack bar that only focuses on two or three items is always highly praised by foodies.

What may be difficult to understand is that "Taipei's" Changhua meatball restaurants often have "unusual" business hours. The local meatball shops in Changhua are usually open from morning to night, so you can enjoy them at any time. Ah Cai Meatballs is open from 8:30 in the morning. When the boss is still busy cooking the meatballs, the queue often starts. Just after lunch time, the restaurant closed at 1:30 pm.

Taipei people who want to taste Changhua’s delicacies must plan their own time to go there—these stores are closed on weekdays at night!

Sooner or later I will have another round of Taipei’s Changhua meatballs, welcome to follow me👆🏻
