Xishi Deng Meatball, an old-time shop, serves its meatballs deep-fried and offers original, garlic, and spicy flavors. After frying, the skin turns chewy and tender. The filling starts with a layer of pickled shredded bamboo shoots at the bottom, topped with ground pork, which makes the juices inside taste even sweeter. The sauce ladled over each meatball is the house special, blending sweet, salty, and spicy all at once, so every bite delivers layers of flavor.
