The yuanbao ingot-shaped Beidou Taiwanese meatball has an adorable shape. The crust is made from indica rice and sweet potato powder. In addition to pork, the filling also consists of fresh diced bamboo shoots. The roundish Taiwanese meatball presents a chewy, tender texture, while the marinated meat sauce emanates the fragrance of 5 spices. This is the classic taste of Beidou Taiwanese meatballs.
There are well over a dozen renowned Taiwanese meatball stores in Beidou Township, each has its uniqueness. In particular, Yi’s Taiwanese Meatball is now in the hands of the 3rd generation descendent. Besides the chewy wrapper, the sauce is especially memorable, offering a perfect fusion of sweetness, saltiness and spiciness that is favored by older Beidou residents.
