Lukang Hsinchu Jin Shrimp Balls Introduction
Located next to the Lukang Folk Arts Museum, "Hsinchu Jin Shrimp Balls" has a history of eighty years, passed down through two generations. The first generation, Fu Jin-jiang, moved from Hsinchu to Lukang, set up a stall in the market, and created Lukang shrimp balls, naming them "Hsinchu Jin" shrimp balls, which were once a delicacy served at high-end banquets. In the face of a decline in shrimp ball popularity, the second generation, Fu Hsi-chyuan, revived the traditional method of making shrimp balls using high-quality pure sand shrimp and a unique recipe, reintroducing the delicious taste and aroma, and once again making shrimp balls a local specialty in Lukang. When exploring the Folk Arts Museum, be sure to grab a few packs as souvenirs! Source: Lukang Township Office
