Anping Ah Shui Bo Handmade Buns Introduction

Ah Shui Bo Baozi is run with a commitment to handmade production, without any preservatives, and is entirely fermented using old dough. The bun wrappers and fillings are made using traditional methods from Tainan that date back 60 years. The meat is processed daily from the market. The handmade technique used to pinch the bun wrappers reflects the delicacy of hand-crafted baozi. The production process exclusively requires hand kneading, and the bun wrappers must undergo a 10-hour fermentation with old dough, as this allows them to absorb gastric acid and provides a protective effect on the stomach lining. The philosophy behind Ah Shui Bo Baozi is not only to operate genuinely but also to give back to the community. Master Li Hai Shui, born in 1939, lived on Yuguang Island and had to walk barefoot for over an hour to reach Longgang Elementary School in Kending. At that time, his family had no access to water or electricity, and if he returned home too late, he couldn’t complete his homework. Recalling those difficult times, he encourages students to study hard by offering a fresh meat bun to any public or private elementary and junior high school student who presents an original test paper with a score of 100 from that academic year, hoping that students will cherish their time studying.
