Ah-gei and fish ball soup are a basic pairing. The tofu skin, fish paste, and vermicelli with sauce taste good, but after finishing, it feels a bit empty.
The store has a neat and orderly environment, located at the ferry terminal, with great business and quick table turnover. It is a must-visit spot in Tamsui Old Street.
The food is served quickly, the table turnover rate is high, and the service is simple, making it suitable for customers who want a quick meal.
This is a store that has been around since childhood, located in a great spot right at the old ferry terminal. The environment is decent, and the business is very good, it occupies an entire building. The dishes are served quickly, and the table turnover is also quite fast. It's a place I always visit when I come to Tamsui Old Street, as it features Tamsui's famous snacks.
A plate of A-gei (stuffed tofu) and fish ball soup is the basic set, along with bean curd skin, fish paste, and vermicelli with sauce. It’s finished in no time. Although it feels a bit empty after finishing it paired with fish ball soup, it's still a must-have set.
The "Tamsui Ferry Pier A-Ge Old Shop" is located on Tamsui Old Street and can be said to be one of the pioneers of the local A-Ge. In the past, this place was always crowded with people, and all the seats were filled, so one had to wait a while to eat. However, on this visit, I found that the lively atmosphere of the old shop seemed to be less than before. I am not sure if it's because Tamsui Old Street has lost some popularity or if the shop itself has lost its appeal; there were quite a few empty seats inside, which created a stark contrast to the busy scenes I remembered.
The taste of A-Ge still retains its traditional flavor, with fried tofu filled with glass noodles, accompanied by a slightly sweet sauce. The taste is good, but not particularly amazing. It has a nostalgic Taiwanese flavor that evokes memories of strolling through the old street. However, compared to new trendy snacks, the flavors here seem a bit simple. In addition to A-Ge, the shop also offers fish ball soup, and having it together makes for a typical old street meal.
In conclusion, the "Tamsui Ferry Pier A-Ge Old Shop" is worth revisiting for a taste of history, especially for those who grew up in Tamsui or have memories of Tamsui. However, if you are looking to try something new or seek unique flavors, the traditional taste here may not fully satisfy.
Since the opening of the MRT Tamsui Red Line, Tamsui has become a more convenient and accessible attraction. The local snack "Aji", which originally means "fat tofu", has become a unique part of my memory, but it has never been included in the food list.
I guess I only found Agui stores randomly in the old street in the past. For example, this store is located in the middle of the old street. The alley at the entrance is just connected to the parallel Zhongzheng Road. It is close to the Turkish ice cream and faces the ferry port square. I have eaten there several times in my memory. It became the established impression of Agui.
The miso soup here is very watery, and the fried tofu skin is a bit sour. Could it be stinky tofu? But it’s limited to bean curd skin. Could it be that the frying quality is poor? There is also a slight sourness in the sauce, could it be due to the dipping sauce? It was hard to tell for a while.
Because the hot and sour sauce has turned into soup, the glass noodles taken out from the ajie are like soaking in the soup, and there is oil floating on them. When picked up, the glass noodles become soft and wet, which I don't like.
This restaurant relies entirely on diners to find seats, order, and pick up their meals. Naturally, it only accepts cash. The only advantage is that you can pay as you go.
