Jin Wen Yu Yuan (Huiyuan Road)Jin Wen Yu Yuan (Huiyuan Road)

A husband-and-wife team has been running this simple shop since 2014. Unlike typical Wenzhou fish balls made with brown croaker, they use mackerel instead for a bouncy texture. Fish ball soup and noodle soup are cooked to order and the sliced fish cake, equally tasty and springy, is also worth a try. Their tossed noodles are served on a bed of bean sprouts and topped with pork sauce. A drizzle of scallion soy sauce imparts a rich onion flavour.
