Zhengjia Fish Ball and Yummy Round Introduction
Long before the retrocession, there was an old man named Zheng who sold fish balls and燕丸 near Dongmen Market, carrying a bamboo shoulder pole along the streets. The second-generation owner took over Zheng's business at the young age of thirteen and soon settled the shop within Chenghuang Temple, freeing himself from the toil of wandering. Now in its third generation, it has a history of eighty years and is considered one of the most renowned establishments within Chenghuang Temple. The ingredients for the fish balls and燕丸 are made from fresh "sea fish." After processes such as scaling, deboning, and mixing, the fish is hand-shaped into form. This is a daily "routine," so you absolutely cannot find frozen fish balls or燕丸 here. Besides the husband and wife team of the owners, there are also future owners and their daughters helping out, operating a relaxed and efficient shift system to serve the diners coming to Chenghuang Temple.
