Three Sister A-Ge

Three Sister A-Ge

ZhenLi Street is the only old street in Taiwan, which is not only part of a museum park but also includes schools from kindergarten to college. The food "A-Ge" comes from a Japanese word which means deep fried. Mr.Yang Shu Gen stuffed rice noodle into tofu and started out as a recipe among the neighborhood, but quickly spread out and becomes the student’s snack and memories of ZengLi Street . The calligraphy writing of the shop was inked by the famed scholar Qi Bai Shi’s descendant Qi Ren Rui.


This delicacy is made with fish paste, rice noodle and tofu. Used to be in the shape of a triangle, taste differs depending on the sauce of different shops. However, like a bird that recognizes its own mother from birth, "Three Sister A-Ge" is crowned for having the most authentic flavor by the students. The Sisters are known as the “Flowers of ZhenLi Street” , started selling A-Ge when they were 18. They are now in their 60s and have spent a good part of their lives guarding this flavor. Customers who came here when they were children are now bringing their sons back to the place for the most authentic and traditional taste.
