Fu Ji Pork Meatball (福記肉圓)

Located near Tainan Confucius Temple, Fu Ji Pork Meatball is one of the most famous pork meatball joint in Tainan. The joint is not big, and you could see a steam basket behind the count when you order your meal. Two pork meatballs are in one portion, which sold for 40 NTD. As a southern-taiwan pork meatball, the meatball is steamed and made by rice milk. Although the pork meatball here is steamed,but the skin of it is still a little bit chewy. The sauce topped on the pork meatball is incredible. Tasting the sauce, i could tell that the sauce is sweet and spicy sauce (甜辣醬) blended with other ingredients. Not like normal sweet and spicy sauce which usually looks red, the special sauce here looks orange. It is so delicious that after finishing the meatball, I still want to lick the sauce on the plate!
