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 Yanhua balls from a bamboo shoulder pole near Dongmen Market. The second-generation owner, who showed talent at a young age, took over Zheng's business at the age of thirteen. Soon after, the shop was established inside Chenghuang Temple, freeing them from the hardship of wandering. Now in its third generation, it boasts a history of over eighty years and is considered a famous brand within Chenghuang Temple. The fish balls and Yanhua balls are made from fresh 'ocean fish'. After the processes of scaling, deboning, and mixing, they are handcrafted into shape. This is a daily routine, so you will never find frozen fish balls or Yanhua balls here. Besides the owner and his wife, there are future owners and their daughters assisting, with the family operating on a relaxed and efficient shift system to serve the diners visiting Chenghuang Temple.
