Guo Run Bing Introduction
Located near the Chenghuang Temple, there is a well-established "Guo Spring Roll Shop." Originally, Guo Spring Roll was located next to a meatball stand at the Chenghuang Temple in Hsinchu, and it has been an old shop near the temple for over a century, founded by the first generation Mr. Zhuang Qi Shi 15 years before the Republic of China was established, and it is now into its fifth generation. Modern people prefer vegetable-based ingredients for spring rolls and no longer enjoy the greasy texture from large amounts of meat. The owner has specially adjusted the ingredients accordingly. The fillings include tofu, herbs, egg flakes, meat floss, ground peanuts, dried radish, chives, cabbage, and bean sprouts. The spring roll skin is fragrant and chewy, without excessive clumps of flour. The egg flakes are made from a mixture of flour and egg, while the marinated vegetables consist of cabbage and carrots sautéed together, adding a natural sweetness from the vegetables to the spring rolls. It still maintains the original production method and features, sincerely striving to make delicious spring rolls, which quickly gained popularity among locals and fast-food enthusiasts; this is the main reason for its fame.
