Yongji is a long-established and famous restaurant in Tainan. After selling Zhou’s shrimp rolls a while ago, we have never gone to try them.

I pass by around 1 o'clock on weekdays, and there are still many people waiting when it is about to close, both for takeout and dine-in. After waiting for a while, I was seated. The environment in the store was much cleaner and more comfortable than before.

Ordered the following meals.
Shrimp ball soup with bone meat and glass noodles: Yong Kee’s shrimp balls have always been excellent. In addition to the strong shrimp flavor, the base of the paste is very elastic. The meat and bones are cooked to perfection, with just the right softness and doneness, and a little bit of soup makes it easy to eat. Green noodles are a common customer in fish ball soup shops. They are blanched quickly and added to the soup to give it a good texture. Unfortunately, the soup was heavily seasoned and the sweetness was too obvious.

Pork Rice: Freshly cooked white rice, topped with homemade Pork Rice, very representative of Taiwan. The white rice is not overnight rice, the grains are clear and not soft. Yongji's marinade is of a salty and sweet style. If you are afraid of the Tainan flavor, I suggest you give it a try.

Shrimp rolls: completely different from Zhou's shrimp rolls. They are made of tofu skin, so they taste less greasy, but the aroma is not as rich as lard nets. The filling part is very good, the shrimp is very generous, and the pulp will not take away the taste. It is very satisfying to eat solidly. But because of this, I personally think it’s a little expensive.

The taste of Yong Kee is still the same, but it has more shrimp rolls. However, the crowds have increased a lot, so if you are in a hurry, it is better to think carefully.

Yong Kee Milkfish Ball is also a popular local snack bar. Later I heard that the owner has switched to Zhou's shrimp roll system. Every time I pass by, there is always a long queue. I just happened to be able to grab the last one today. Lucky me!

Today I ordered a double-ingredient soup with glass noodles (which can be customized with happiness). Shrimp balls and bone meat are my must-choices. The shrimp balls are chewy but the seasoning is relatively heavy, and the soup is a little sweet. It really tastes like Tainan 😂

I actually can't taste the tofu skin flavor of the bean curd shrimp rolls, but it doesn't taste like a waste of gas, and the fillings inside are very solid. However, the price is a bit unexpectedly high (50 yuan).

The overall feeling is average. You can try it on weekdays when there are not many people. The store is clean and the service attitude of the lady is super enthusiastic❤️‍🔥
