北門口肉圓 — Restaurant in Zhanghua City

Ba Wan, Taiwanese giant dumpling. We were here in our around the island bicycle trip and detoured a bit just to enjoy the traditional food Ba Wan. Like most local foods in Taiwan, every town may have their unique way of preparing the same food. Here in Zhanghua the dumpling is deep fried and the crust is a bit chewy. At south of the island the Ba Wan may be steamed and is more on the moisture and soft...

Crunchy outer layer which is uncommon for 肉圓. Really tasty. Not many seating available so there's a bit of a wait someone during busy hours. Lots of people get take away. And their shop is quite nice too. This place isn't air conditioned so people that are afraid of the heat...

彰化必吃肉圓 #北門口肉圓 🌝

平常北部吃的肉圓雖然是在油鍋內 但吃起來皮都是屬Q彈那種 但北門口肉圓則是炸的酥酥脆脆 第一次吃到讓我好驚喜 不喜歡吃肉圓的我都要愛上了❣️ 內餡不是肉漿那種 放了不少豬肉塊，還有蛋和香菇 大份的肉圓價格高，但是是有放干貝的唷 — Ba-wan means meatball in Taiwanese.(Mandarin：rouyuan肉圓）There r some different styles of ba-wan in Taiwan. In north Taiwan(like Taipei), Ba-wan‘s outer layer r usually very thick and chewy, but here in Chang-Hua county, they deep fried ba-wan with higher temperature, makes the skin more crispy and crunchy. 😋

Inside ba-wan, they put pork tenderloin , some mushroom, bamboo shoots and one fifth of egg. (this is the only place I know who would put eggs in ba-wan😳)And then top-up with sweet soy sauce and mashed garlic.
