今天下班時間趕在七點店家打烊之前，我和老公趕著去吃我們想吃的店。
六點多到達小鮮肉圓，很幸運的是剛好有空位，所以我們很幸運地可以內用，真是太好了。
這家店的內用空間不大，可能只有四到六個座位，所以我很高興我們能順利內用。
主因是今天要吃的是脆皮肉圓！如果沒有座位，我們只能外帶，
回家可能不夠脆，所以我才說可以在店裡吃很好，嘿嘿。

新竹好像不常見中部那種炸得超脆皮的肉圓，類似我愛店大甲嘉家樂肉圓風格的。
所以在新竹能夠就近找到一家這樣的脆皮肉圓讓我很歡喜。

今天的主角確實皮脆脆的，但沒有像嘉家樂那樣炸到都快變餅乾的程度。
外面脆內裡厚實的地方還是蠻Q的，這樣也很好吃。內餡的部分，
肉塊有胡椒醃漬的味道，加上筍塊，整體肉塊蠻大蠻扎實，內餡很好吃喔。
外面淋的當然是肉圓靈魂米醬，甜甜鹹鹹，是最棒的搭配。
今天點的醬汁是蒜辣味，有一大坨蒜泥，然後那個辣真的有辣喔，
吃到呼呼哈哈然後滿頭大汗，但真的很爽啊。❤️

我們點了一個綜合湯分食，大骨湯加蔥花為湯底，
然後搭配魚丸、貢丸、魚羹和一塊豆腐。大骨湯不會很鹹，
但也不至於非常濃厚，是清淡好喝的程度。
很意外的是，魚羹和魚丸都很好吃欸。
我這麼說是因為我平常不吃魚，只能偶爾吃一下魚丸，但那也很少見。
今天這魚丸是包餡魚丸，類似福州丸的形式，但很好吃，沒有魚腥味，
所以我可以接受，真是難得，魚羹也是。

今天在內用的時候，一直有電話打到店裡要外帶自取的，
也有直接跑來買的客人陸續進來，生意很不錯。
今天吃的果然也真的很好吃，是個意外的驚喜，太好了。
這樣想吃脆皮肉圓終於不用特別跑到大甲去了，真棒。🥰

店面小而溫馨，內用座位不多，但裝潢可愛明亮。


吃完回家的路上，在中央路的一力佳包子，買了一個芋泥包當飯後甜點。
這是我第一次買它家的芋泥包，回家切開來吃，餡料很飽滿欸，
芋泥散發出香氣，有點像芋頭酥那種香味，綿密香甜，內餡處理得很好吃，
出乎預料的美味的芋泥包是稱職的飯後甜點。


以前去一力佳都是買筍子肉包和鮮肉包。
它家的筍子肉包好好吃，筍子和肉餡均勻混合在一起，
口味有點重，我覺得比鮮肉包更不容易膩，口味更有變化，
大推筍子肉包！下次再去買的時候再分享一下它。

Today, after finishing work just before the store closed at 7 p.m., my husband and I hurriedly went to the restaurant we wanted to eat at. We arrived at Xiao Xian Rou Yuan a little after 6 p.m., and luckily, there were available seats, so we were fortunate enough to dine in. It was great! The indoor seating area of this restaurant is small, probably only accommodating four to six seats, so I'm glad we were able to dine in successfully. The main reason being that we wanted to eat the crispy pork dumplings today! If there were no seats available, we would have had to get them to go, but they might not have been as crispy when we got home, so dining in was definitely the better option, hehe.

It seems like Hsinchu doesn't often have the kind of pork dumplings with an extra crispy skin like the ones, similar to the style of Da Jia Jia Le pork dumplings in central Taiwan. So, being able to find a place in Hsinchu that serves such crispy pork dumplings nearby made me very happy.

The star of today's meal was indeed crispy, but not to the extent of turning into a biscuit-like texture like Da Jia Jia Le. The outside was crispy, and the inside was thick and chewy, which made it very delicious. As for the filling, the meat pieces had a peppery marinade flavor, and combined with the bamboo shoots, the meat chunks were quite large and substantial. The filling was really tasty. Of course, they topped it with the soul of the pork dumplings—rice sauce—sweet and savory, the perfect combination. The sauce we chose today was garlic and chili flavor, with a generous amount of minced garlic. And yes, it was really spicy! It made me sweat and feel a burning sensation, but it was truly satisfying. ❤️

We ordered a mixed soup to share, with a base of big bone soup and topped with scallions. It was served with fish balls, gong wan (a type of meatball), fish paste, and a piece of tofu. The big bone soup was not overly salty but also not too thick. It had a mild and enjoyable flavor. Surprisingly, both the fish balls and gong wan were delicious. I say this because I don't usually eat fish, and I only occasionally have fish balls, so it's rare for me. The fish balls we had today were stuffed fish balls, similar to the ones from Fuzhou, but they were really tasty and didn't have any fishy taste, so I could accept them. The fish paste was also good.

While we were dining in today, there were constant phone calls to the restaurant for takeout orders, and customers kept coming in directly to make purchases. The business was doing well. The food we had today was indeed very delicious, and it was an unexpected surprise. It's great that we don't have to go all the way to Da Jia anymore just to satisfy our craving for crispy pork dumplings. Wonderful! 🥰
