The new version of the Fulong Bento now features "Gongliao Abalone" – the 8-person share box is even better value!

Cold air masses arrive this winter, but the delicious Gongliao abalone has not dampened public enthusiasm at all. The freshest and tastiest experience is to enjoy it right here on the North Coast. The annual "Gongliao Abalone Grab" origin event, organized by the local fishermen's association to promote the consumption of safe, locally sourced ingredients — "Gongliao Abalone" raised on natural seaweed — was held with great fanfare today (December 17) at Aodi Fishing Port. In addition to the communal feast of 70 tables of "Gongliao Abalone Nourishing Flavor Meals," there were also a variety of promotional offers. The abundance of fresh seafood had food lovers' mouths watering. With 70 tables set up, the crowds flocked to Aodi Fishing Port!

Safe Gongliao Abalone is about to get even safer!

Chen Guoguang, Chairman of the Gongliao District Fishermen’s Association, said that many foodies came to the event today specifically to buy Gongliao Abalone bearing the "Agricultural and Fishery Products Safety Label." This shows everyone’s trust in the safe ingredients certified by New Taipei City Government. To further “safely upgrade” Gongliao Abalone, starting this year, the New Taipei City Government has been guiding the Gongliao District Fishermen’s Association and local abalone farmers to apply for “Production and Sales Traceability” certification. If successful, it will allow the entire nation to see the “safe and local” advantages of Gongliao Abalone, boosting its recognition and sales. Everyone is encouraged to support high-quality local aquatic products.

The “Great Value 8-Person Share Box Fulong Bento” makes a stunning debut!

Li Wen, Director of the New Taipei City Agriculture Bureau, said that this year the city government and the Gongliao District Fishermen’s Association have specially collaborated with local Fulong Bento vendors to launch a “limited-time Gongliao Abalone Fulong Bento.” For just NT$100 per serving, you can enjoy a Fulong Bento with Gongliao Abalone. It will be available at partner bento shops in the Fulong area until the end of January — don’t miss out!

To promote this first-ever Gongliao Abalone Fulong Bento, Fa Ji Bento Shop collaborated with the Gongliao District Fishermen’s Association to create the “Great Value 8-Person Share Box Fulong Bento,” which immediately caught everyone’s eye. The specially made wooden lunchbox can be repurposed as a storage box after use, adding a memorable touch. Lucky pre-order customers exclaimed that it was truly a great deal!

The “Gongliao Abalone Kiosk” makes its first appearance along Provincial Highway 2!

Li Wen, Director of the New Taipei City Agriculture Bureau, said that this year the city government has guided the Gongliao District Fishermen’s Association and its production and marketing groups to operate Gongliao Abalone Kiosks along Provincial Highway 2. This allows the public to purchase safe, local Gongliao Abalone not only at today’s event but also during weekends when passing by. Be sure to look for Gongliao Abalone Kiosks marked with the Gongliao District Fishermen’s Association label and the safety certification for guaranteed safety.
