Trivia
[For Everyone] Features an astonishingly 'bouncy' texture completely different from Japanese fish balls. Alongside pork meatballs (Gong Wan), the twin giants of Taiwanese soup ingredients. Very light, hugely popular for breakfast/late-night.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Carelessly biting the fishball makes piping hot meat juices squirt out, causing burns, so the iron rule is letting it cool slightly and biting cautiously!
