Introduction

Not far from the entrance of Jishan Old Street (Jiudaokou) is a small signs which says "Hereditary A-Mang's Sweet Taro Balls". This tiny shop, which seats only about a dozen, played a major role in how the sweet taro ball came to be known as a renowned Jiufen snack.Hereditary A-Mang's Sweet Taro Balls is one of the three oldest sweet taro ball shops in Jiufen. The other two are Grandma Lai's Sweet Taro Ball and Auntie A-Gan's Sweet Taro Balls. Jian, Jing-lin is currently the third generation owner of Hereditary A-Mang Sweet Taro Balls. He took over the business from his mother Jian Lan, A-man, a renowned sweet taro ball maker in the Jiufen region.In his mother's youth, sweet taro balls did not exist in Jiufen at the time. His grandfather attempted to sell sweet taro balls, which he created by steaming taro, pounding the taro, then adding tapioca powder and selling the mixture in ball form. As business gradually grew, others like Grandma Lai and Auntie A-Gan opened up shop too, making them the three most famous sweet taro ball shops in Jiufen.Both the ratio of ingredients and skill involved are vital when making chewy sweet taro balls. If there is too much taro, the balls will seem excessively soft. If there is too little, the balls will be overly hard. Generally, the ideal ratio between taro and tapioca powder is 6 to 4. Of course, there is a lot of skill involved in cooking, mixing, and shaping the taro.With three generations of history, Hereditary A-Mang's Sweet Taro Balls is an old store that has always adhered to the most traditional and authentic production methods. They choose only the best ingredients and refrain from adding any fragrances or additives. Their products include a range of handmade sweet taro balls, sweet potato balls, green bean balls, green tea balls and more. The green tea balls are especially popular, but the store still comes up with innovative flavors all the time.

Pompie 2

Located next to the No.4 Park, the owner of Pompie 2, who came back to Taiwan from Australia, hopes to introduce the authentic quiche to people, and he opened the Pompie, the previous name of Pompie 2. Afterwards, he reopened the shop with fresh flower smoothies and pieces of layer cake, and the shop's name was changed to Pompie 2. The signature flower smoothies are made of a mix of fresh fruit added with edible flowers and oats, not only healthy but also looking great in front of the camera. For sure, having the quiche for brunch is a must-eat food. The signature quiche layered by half-cooked sunny side up fried egg, pan-fried wild mushroom, salad, etc., really looking "Pompie (means abundant)"! In addition to the two kinds of food, there are pieces of layer cake, soft-serve milk ice cream, pudding, etc. available in Pompie 2. They are the best-selling desserts in summer.
