Trivia

[For Women] Milkfish is Taiwan's 'national fish' rich in collagen and quality protein. Its paste balls have 'bouncing elasticity (Q-Dan)' on a different level from Japanese Tsumire, creating the best contrast with shirataki's slipperiness.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Scoop the bouncy fish balls with a spoon, dipping in a sauce of Taiwan 'sweet Jiangyou Gao and wasabi' to eat like sashimi!
