This Cishan old-street stall is credited with starting the town's pan-fried meatballs over 50 years ago. The pork-and-scallion filling is steamed, then pan-fried in lard and served with sweet chilli sauce and coriander.
Outside the city, so it isn't included in the day planner. It's a stop on Cishan and Meinong by Bus, which explains how to get there.
