# Rongji Hakka Tangyuan (榮記客家湯圓)

Places we stopped along the way　/　Hsinchu, Taiwan

An eatery on Wuchang Street, full of locals. The menu runs to rice vermicelli, meatball soup, chicken rice and other small dishes. I had dry rice vermicelli and meatball soup here.

No. 64, Wuchang St., East District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan

## This moment in the journey: Rice vermicelli and meatball soup, Hsinchu's specialties

For dinner, Hsinchu's specialties at a local eatery. I left the stalls behind, walked down an alley of closed shutters, and arrived at Rongji on Wuchang Street. Windy Hsinchu is famous for its rice vermicelli.

The noodles I lifted with my chopsticks had a firm, springy bite and were tremendously good. Gongwan tang, meatball soup, is another Hsinchu specialty: bouncy, juicy meatballs bursting with flavor. No wonder the place was full of locals. I had found a great restaurant. Under the glowing sign of a pawnshop, I walked back to the apartment.
