Qiaotou Bian Meatball Introduction
The earliest Qiaotou Bawan was started by the first generation Grandma Liao with a small stall, first setting up in Nantou City, and later establishing a store on Zhongshan Street at Qiaotou. It has now passed down to the third generation. Even after dinner time, the entire restaurant remains packed with customers. Their Bawan is made with glutinous rice, traditional rice, and sweet potato flour, first steamed and then fried to achieve a chewy texture. The filling consists of lean meat from high-quality freshly slaughtered pigs, and it is said that to maintain quality, it is all made from pork belly, which is why it has the nostalgic flavor of lard. Behind this affordable delicacy lies so much craftsmanship, no wonder it has continuously garnered the love of Nantou locals.
