In 2012, she went to Taiwan to attend a summer school. One day, on the way back to her hotel after watching the sunset in New Taipei City with her friends, Che tried the snack for the first time. “We ordered two kinds of mochi. One was cold and without any soup. It was a soft mochi wrapped in peanut powder and had a refreshing taste,” Che says. “The other was a hot mochi drenched in a lightly sweetened red bean soup. It was a very satisfying meal.”

The dish is a fried ball of minced pork wrapped inside a translucent, glutinous shell made of rice and sweet potato flour. Inside the meatball is a mixture of bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and the whole snack is served with a sweet chili sauce. “When it’s cut into pieces, the meat juices flow out and mix with the sweet chili sauce. It tastes great,” Tsai says.

　　說起肉圓，蔡宗余難掩自豪與激動之情，這位19歲男孩的家鄉(xiāng)——彰化正是因為這種美食而著名。肉圓是由糯米、甘薯粉制成半透明的黏糯外皮，將豬肉餡包裹成球后煎炸而成。肉餡中還會放入筍尖與蘑菇，并在外面淋上甜辣醬。蔡宗余說，“切開肉圓時，里面的湯汁就會流出來，和外面的甜辣醬混在一起。實在是太好吃了。”
