Lukang Hsinchu Jin Shrimp Ball Introduction
Located next to the Lugang Folk Arts Museum, "Hsinchu Jinshrimp Balls" has a history of eighty years, passed down through two generations. The first generation, Fu Jinjian, moved from Hsinchu to Lugang and set up a stall at the market, creating Lugang shrimp balls, referred to as "Hsinchu Jin." At that time, they were a delicacy served at high-end banquets. The second generation, Fu Xiquan, revived the shrimp balls when they were on the decline, using traditional methods to craft them with high-quality pure sand shrimp and a unique recipe, resulting in a fragrant and delicious product that sparked a shrimp ball trend once again, making it Lugang's top specialty. Be sure to buy some as souvenirs when visiting the Folk Arts Museum! Source: Lugang Township Office
