Tu Tuo Yu Geng (土魠魚羹/土魠鱼羹) Fried Spanish Mackerel Thick Soup

 



Tu tuo yu geng (土魠魚羹/土魠鱼羹) (pinyin with tones: tǔ tuō yú gēng) is deep fried Spanish mackerel with thick soup. You can find it all over Taiwan, but it is famous and abounds in Tainan (台南). Tu tuo yu geng is part of geng (羹, thick soup) family, just like chi rou geng (赤肉羹, pork thick soup), you yu geng (魷魚羹, squid thick soup), hua zhi geng (花枝羹, cuttlefish thick soup), xia ren geng (蝦仁羹, shrimp thick soup), yu su geng (魚酥羹, fried fish cake thick soup), and zong he geng (綜合羹, hodgepodge thick soup). It is usually served with rice, noodles, or thin rice noodles; or you can eat it as a soup and order other staple food like lu rou fan (滷肉飯, braised pork on rice).

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
