The combination of wontons and savory rice balls is unique. The wonton skin is thin with plenty of filling, while the filling of the rice balls is relatively small but flavorful and savory. The broth has a rich depth of flavor.
The stall is located at the corner of Sanhe Night Market, in a prominent location, but there are not many indoor seating options, and it often requires waiting in line.
The service speed is fast. Although the stall is not large, the efficiency is pretty good.
This is "A-Wen Wonton Soup Dumplings" at Sanhe Night Market, located at a corner, quite noticeable, and hard to miss. The main offering, "Wonton with Savory Dumplings," costs $80 per bowl, which is a combination of wontons and savory dumplings.
The wontons are handmade, with thin skin and plenty of filling; they are tender and have a taste reminiscent of Hualien's traditional flat dumpling soup. The filling of the savory dumplings is made with Taiwanese free-range pork, enhanced with fried shallots for a savory flavor. However, the filling is on the smaller side, and the dumplings themselves are also quite miniature. The broth is decent, with rich layers of flavor, not greasy.
This combination of wontons and savory dumplings is not common and surprisingly pairs well together. However, regarding portion size, $80 feels a bit high. The stall is not large, with limited indoor seating, and there is almost always a line. However, the food is served relatively quickly. If you're at Sanhe Night Market and want to try something a little different in soup, this bowl can be considered, though it may not be mind-blowing.
