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, setting up a stall in the market and creating the Lukang shrimp balls, which he named "Hsinchu Jin," and they were once a delicacy at high-end banquets. The second generation, Fu Hsi-Chuan, revived the shrimp balls at a time when they were declining, using traditional methods and high-quality pure sand shrimp, incorporating a unique recipe that made them fragrant, colorful, and delicious, once again leading the shrimp ball trend and becoming a top specialty in Lukang. When visiting the Folk Arts Museum, be sure to buy a few packs as souvenirs! Source: Lukang Township Office
