阿開肉圓埔里創始店

阿開肉圓埔里創始店 sits on Nansheng Street in Puli Township, Nantou, its main draw traditional hand-made ba-wan, the skin steamed then fried crisp-springy, drizzled with a special sauce and cilantro, just right with a bowl of pork-ball soup, tofu soup, or mixed soup. One diner said simply “tasty in a word,” another noting “the ba-wan skin is somewhat springy, decent, and the bone broth is pretty good.”

Flavor reviews vary — one diner said “the meat is minced, which I can't get behind, and the ba-wan sauce is fairly ordinary,” another “the skin is springy but the filling really scant”; still, “the owners are fairly courteous,” the service generally good.

Open daily 9:00am to 6:30pm, year-round.
