When I went to a new so-called Taiwanese restaurant and saw that the menu board read "Authentic Hsinchu Gong Maru", I once again couldn't help but be curious and asked for a bowl.
On the table, there are still meatballs oozing with shiitake mushrooms, alas, Hong Kong people do not know how to eat Taiwanese food, and have been deceived to this day.
Real Hsinchu Tribute Balls, made from pure pork, contain nothing else. Can make ordinary meat pulp into a flexible, full of flavor, can be tribute.
Hsinchu is from Taipei, in recent years, there are highways, about 40 minutes by car, right? The most famous local products are rice noodles and tribute pills, the former is as fine as hair, white as snow, and can not be bored.
Both foods can be eaten at the big name stalls at The City God Temple In downtown Hsinchu. The carpenter Agui who took me for the first time said, "Hsinchu Gongmaru, if you fall to the ground, you will jump on the table."
Of course, I didn't believe it, this gentleman grabbed a grain, threw it vigorously to the ground, and indeed jumped higher than the table, but accidentally fell when eating, it was absolutely impossible to jump back.
Gong pills are about twice as large as the beef balls we usually eat, like a plum. Before cooking, I cut a knife in the middle, in order to burn its heart, it is also easy to bite, the entrance feels very crisp, elastic, and then the taste comes out, fresh and sweet. Of course, there is a little MSG, Taiwanese snacks can not be down MSG is like asking for his wife's life, the upper food is less, the lower the level, the more it is.
A small, thin clay bowl left two tribute pills, soup, sprinkled with green onions, and that was it.
In order to cover up the ugliness, inferior vendors worked hard to add something to the tribute pill, which is an example of the shiitake mushroom tribute pill, and it is also recognized as authentic outside of Taiwan.
Hsinchu GongMaru is also very many in the temple, which file is the best? It is easy to find, the most people queuing up can not be wrong, do not want to run away to Hsinchu, in Taipei Shilin District vegetable market can also find a stall. Forgive me for not writing the name and address of the store, the output is small, the business is a good influence on the quality, watching the hawkers two in-laws laughing and giggling, is the whole pair of satisfaction that does not want to open a chain store, do not introduce them and do not afford them.
