Zheng Jia Fish Ball and Yan Ball Introduction
Before the restoration of Taiwan, there was an old man named Zheng who sold fish balls and taro balls with a bamboo shoulder pole near Dongmen Market. The second-generation owner, having achieved success at a young age, took over Zheng's business at the age of thirteen. Soon after, the shop was established inside the Chenghuang Temple, relieving them of the hardship of wandering about. Now, in its third generation, it has a history of over eighty years and is truly a renowned old brand within the Chenghuang Temple. The ingredients for the fish balls and taro balls are made from fresh "sea fish." After the processes of scaling, deboning, and mixing the ingredients, they are handmade into shape. This is a daily routine, so you will never find frozen fish balls or taro balls here. The shop is run by the boss and the boss's wife, along with future bosses and their daughters helping out, operating with a relaxed and efficient shift system to serve the customers visiting the Chenghuang Temple.
