Lukang Hsinchu Jin Shrimp Balls Introduction
Located next to the Lugang Folk Arts Museum, "Hsinchu Jin Shrimp Ball" has a history of eighty years spanning two generations. The first generation, Fu Jin-jiang, moved from Hsinchu to Lugang and set up stall in the market, creating the Lugang shrimp ball, which he named "Hsinchu Jin." At that time, it was a delicacy served at high-end banquets. The second generation, Fu Hsi-chuan, revived the shrimp ball during its decline, following traditional methods to create shrimp balls using high-quality pure sand shrimp and a unique recipe, reintroducing the shrimp ball trend and making it Lugang's top specialty. When visiting the Folk Arts Museum, be sure to buy a few packs as souvenirs! Source: Lugang Township Office
