Lukang Hsinchu Golden Shrimp Balls Introduction
Located next to the Lukang Folk Arts Museum, "Hsinchu King Shrimp Balls" has a history of eighty years, passed down through two generations. The first generation, Fu Jin-jiang, moved from Hsinchu to Lukang and set up a stall in the market, creating the Lukang shrimp balls, which he named "Hsinchu King" for his shrimp balls. At the time, they were a delicacy served at high-end banquets. In the face of declining popularity, the second generation, Fu Xi-chuan, adhered to traditional methods to produce the shrimp balls, using high-quality pure sand shrimp and incorporating a unique recipe, which brought out their beautiful color and aroma, reigniting the shrimp ball trend and making them Lukang's top specialty. When visiting the Folk Arts Museum, be sure to buy a few packs as souvenirs! Source: Lukang Township Office
