Akai Meatballs — Restaurant in Puli Township

The best crystal meat ball in Nantou, perhaps in Taiwan. I know there are couple other famous crystal meat ball places in Puli and we have tried all of them. Akai is overall the best out of all. Not only the skin, pork, bamboo, but also the sauces are all well balanced. I have also tried many different crystal meat ball in Taipei, Taichung, Changhua, and etc. but Nantou really has the edge and Akai is by far the best, period. When you are in Puli, don't miss this super delicious meat ball place and you...

#阿開肉圓 我這次點的是肉圓配台灣最常見的湯品：貢丸湯。在這間店裏可以看到肉圓便是直接在店裡製作，然而，我最為驚艷的卻不是上面提到的這些品項，而是貢丸湯中的豆腐，從來沒有吃過如此軟嫩的豆腐，入口即化。

#台灣美食與文化 肉圓的由來： 1898年的一次大水災，讓台灣彰化北斗的鄉鎮從原本的72的鄉鎮銳減成52個鄉鎮，也導致災民物資缺。當時，范萬居先生將地瓜曬乾，磨成粉後揉成團狀，就把甘薯搗成粉再加些糖，再煮熟給災民食用。後來又有人做了鹹味的肉圓，逐漸發展成今天的肉圓。

#A-Kai Ba-wan I ordered Taiwan’s classic combo—ba-wan (rou yuan) paired with gongwan soup (pork meatball soup) this time. You can see the ba-wan being freshly made at this shop. However, what surprised me the most wasn’t the dishes themselves but rather the tofu in the soup. I’ve never had tofu this soft. it literally melts in your mouth.

#TaiwaneseFoodAndCulture The Origins of Ba-Wan (Rou Yuan): In 1898, a devastating flood reduced the number of towns in Beidou, Changhua from 72 to 52, leaving many disaster victims struggling with food shortages. At the time, Mr. Fan Wanju dried and ground sweet potatoes into powder, shaping them into small balls. He cooked these and sweetened them before serving them to those in need. Later, a savory version was developed, eventually evolving into the ba-wan...

總結：肉圓皮同時兼具油泡Q彈，清蒸軟糯優點，皮餡醬搭配得宜。 評論： 自己的肉圓收藏簿裡 目前統計全台約330間清單 大多是知名店家 業餘 當休閒的自己 約20年來 只完成了約三分之一 南投 其實也算是個肉圓重地 難得一趟 無論如何 要將空缺補上

●肉圓 4.5星 真要說有什麼特色 是皮 雖是油泡 但口感像蒸肉圓 偶爾能吃到油泡的Q彈 但更多 是清蒸的軟糯 餡料是筍丁與肉塊 醃漬肉塊 鹹鮮還帶甜 醬料部分 標準三色裡 有白米醬 醬油膏 可似乎沒有蒜泥 南投一帶 喜歡先吃皮 內餡最後拿來兌湯 免費附湯 不得不說 這附湯也很好喝 骨湯 甜口 足鮮 總得說 很棒

●綜合湯 4.5星 湯點了 但喝了口桌上附湯 後悔 這附湯就很好喝 其實無需另點 但綜合湯上了 又不後悔了 這湯 料好味佳 骨湯湯底 冬菜輔鮮 微甜 胡椒味重 南投嘉義一帶胡椒 特香 貢丸 應稱為肉丸 少脆感 與內部汁水 不是新竹那種摃出來的 但也還行 豆腐鮮嫩 搭配顯得實誠

整體而言 肉圓的好壞 除了皮餡醬三者各自發揮 更重要的是融合程度 皮醬 或餡醬匹配有無違和 這裡 就很棒 是以...
