Anping Ah Shui Bo Handmade Buns Introduction
Ah Shui Bo Bun's operation is based on handmade production, without any preservatives, and is completely fermented using old dough. The bun skin and filling are made using traditional techniques from Tainan that have been practiced for 60 years. The meat is delivered daily from the market for processing. The handmade method of pinching the bun skin reflects the delicacy of handcrafted buns. The entire production process requires manual kneading, and the bun skin must undergo 10 hours of fermentation with old dough, which can absorb gastric acid and has a protective effect on the stomach wall. The philosophy of Ah Shui Bo Bun is not only to operate locally but also to give back to the community. Master Li Hai Shui, who was born in 1940, lived on Shiyu Island and had to walk barefoot for more than an hour to get to Longgang Elementary School in Kuan Fan. During that time, his family had no water or electricity, and if he returned home too late, he couldn't do his homework. Looking back, those were tough times. To encourage students to study hard, any public or private junior high or elementary school student in Taiwan who brings an original copy of a test score of 100 from the current school year can receive a free meat bun, hoping that students will cherish their time studying.
