The meatball that went viral in those hit movies back in the day — a legendary 50-year-old shop that foodies must try

By / TravelScape Compilation Report
 
The meatball that became famous in the movie adaptation of the wildly popular novel “Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together” by acclaimed author Giddens Ko is actually a long-standing local eatery in Changhua that has been delighting diners for 50 years, and it’s also on the must-eat list of many food connoisseurs.

Lao Dan A Zhang Rice Meatballs is located just a five-minute walk from Changhua Railway Station. It was not only once selected as a state banquet dish, but also gained massive popularity when it appeared in the movie adapted from Giddens Ko’s novel “Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together.”

Lao Dan A Zhang uses quality ingredients, and after deep-frying, the process locks in the aroma of the filling while maintaining the chewiness of the outer skin. The result is a rich texture and an unforgettable, hearty filling.

The meatballs come with garlic soy sauce, rice sauce, and mountain-sea sauce, which diners can add according to their taste. Paired with fresh cilantro, one bite brings all the flavors together — you could easily eat two in one go.

The filling of Lao Dan A Zhang meatballs consists of chunks of meat and ground pork mixed with mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots. One bite gives you both the skin and the filling, with a saltiness and fragrance that’s nearly perfect — no wonder the place sees long queues during meal times.
