Yang Mama's Eatery Introduction
This small shop, operating for over 20 years in the alleys of Luzhou, has garnered a reputation for its delicious "A Gei" and "Sweet Potato Ball," attracting more and more loyal customers. Inside the tofu skin is filled with chewy marinated rice vermicelli, wrapped in fresh fish paste and served in a steaming bowl of sweet potato ball soup. You can enjoy a bite of A Gei with a sip of the soup, and mixing the rice vermicelli into the soup offers a different taste. The special sauce drizzled over the A Gei and sweet potato balls is another reason that makes it unforgettable. Local residents and students have been coming here for several years, with some even returning from the central and southern parts of Taiwan just to eat here. The A Gei from this cozy little shop differs slightly from that of Tamsui, offering both soup and dry variations. The perfect partner for the delicious A Gei is the sauce, a culmination of the owner's years of experience, made with a base of miso, yellow soybean, and chili, which is then sautéed and sweetened. The unique ratio of ingredients makes the sauce sweet without being heavy, pairing perfectly with the A Gei. Yang Mama's Snack Bar has now passed to the second generation, who aim to carry on the tradition of this classic snack by renovating the old shop, adding food models at the entrance, and installing air conditioning, creating a comfortable dining experience akin to a restaurant. They also utilize the internet to offer delivery services, ensuring that the old flavors remain intact, allowing those who do not live in Luzhou to savor the owner's great culinary skills. Recommended dish: A Gei.
