Ah Gei (阿給) at DanShui, Taiwan (淡水)

When we were at the DanShui (淡水商店街), we saw a lot of shops selling Ah Gei (阿給). It seems like DanShui is famous of Ah Gei, Fish Ball and Pork Bun. Why I said that? Cos most of the shops selling these 3 types of food.

What is Ah Gei? We both don't know, we've never try it, never even heard about it. After seeing a few shops selling Ah Gei, we decided to try it at this shop.

this shop consider quite big, consists of 3 shops, and got quite a lot of ppl too.. Most of the ppl sitting at the back, so you can't see it in this photo.


We wanted to try Ah Gei (阿給) but since they only sell 3 items in the shop, we decided to order everything on the menu. hehe..

Pork Bun (招牌肉包)
nt 10 (RM 1.20)

erm, it's not very nice lor.
nothing special..

Fish Ball Soup (鱼丸汤)
nt 30 (RM 3.50)
our fish ball here taste better lar..

Ah Gei (阿給)
nt 30 (RM 3.50)


So what is Ah Gei? It's taufu with sauce, and you will find glass noodle (冬粉) inside the taufu. I think it's quite nice but FL said it's not nice. hehe, different ppl different taste, but I think it's worth to try lar. At least now when ppl mentioned Ah Gei, I know what it is and I know how it taste, right?

Hey! the one that you mentioned as fish balls, is not really fish ball. Is more of like meat in the fish ball inside.
Well, I tried it before when I was in Taiwan.
I don't like the last dish, think is too sweet.
And the "fish ball" thingy is too salty.
Yeah, like you said: different people, different tastes.
But weird that these 3 dishes can be so famous in taiwan. =/
