💠 Yongji Milkfish Balls

Hi everyone! I'm Wolf Wolf🪽
Today I'm here to share with you a super popular Taiwanese snack shop – Yongji Milkfish Balls located on Kaishan Road in Tainan! The shop is clean, has air conditioning for indoor dining, and the best part – you can get free refills on the soup, which is amazing (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

🥣 Double Ingredient Soup (105 TWD)
In this bowl of soup, you can enjoy meat dumplings and three different types of fish balls (crunchy balls, shrimp balls, meatballs) all at once, making for a rich texture! The broth is sweet and refreshing, not overly salty, and you can refill it once more after drinking, how considerate! The meat dumpling filling is firm, the shrimp balls have a slight crunch, and when you bite into them, a burst of seafood flavor comes out. Friends who love soup definitely shouldn't miss this!

🍚 Minced Pork Rice (35 TWD)
The aromatic minced pork is laid over a steaming bowl of white rice, salty yet not greasy, it's the kind of old-fashioned flavor that makes you keep going for more. The fat-to-lean ratio is just right, and you feel very satisfied after eating!

🍤 Shrimp Rolls with Tofu Skin (50 TWD)
This is my favorite of the day! When you take a bite, it's crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside—surprisingly, you can actually taste whole shrimp inside! The tofu skin is crispy and not oily, and it pairs perfectly with the special sauce, definitely a must-try!

🥖 Deep-fried Dough Sticks (25 TWD)
Crispy deep-fried dough sticks, perfect to pair with soup or enjoy on their own – great for those who love fried textures! Wolf Wolf dipped the dough sticks in the double ingredient soup, delicious!

I had a very pleasant meal this time – the air conditioning was comfortable, the service was quick, and the staff were friendly. The snacks in Tainan really leave you satisfied every time you visit!

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❤️‍🔥
