Bowl of Balls




Pictured: Fish balls (yu wan), pork balls, dan dan noodles (dan zai mian), and "side-of-mouth-meat"(ko bian ro) at a stall in Jiu Fen, a traditional mountain village which, as of late, has gotten a tad touristy. In the foreground is the mixed variety bowl of balls (hehe, "bowl of balls")that le cub, my mom, and I had ordered to share. Tossed into the bowl as a ball made of shark flesh! Mmm... very Q! ("Q" is the way Taiwanese people describe perfectly chewy texture.) The bowl of dry dan dan noodles immersed in clear broth topped with minced pork and bean paste was also spectacular...

Unable to translate the name of the stall we ate at, I took a photo. Better than nothing!
