Shuangxing Sweet Potato Ball Introduction

This well-known Shuangxing Sweet Potato Fritter shop is bustling on regular days, and even more so on weekends. Although it has been around for about fourteen or fifteen years and is now run by the second generation, the shop has been renovated and doesn’t feel old; instead, it has a bit of a modern touch. While it lacks some of the old charm, it offers a clean and bright space. The owner mentioned that she’s been in this business since graduating from high school, and it’s hard to believe that it’s been several decades. When visiting, it's recommended to order the sweet potato fritters with a bit of spice. After finishing the hearty fritters, ask the staff for a bowl of soup. The sauce and hot soup mix in your mouth to create an unmatched flavor. What sets them apart from others is their sauce and soup; the sauce is a yellow-brown color and tastes somewhat like miso, although it doesn’t look like it at all. Additionally, the chili sauce is made by the owner during summer, as the peppers are supposed to be better then. The soup is made by simmering small shrimp.
