Anping Handmade Egg Roll (安平手工蛋捲) @ Tainan in Taiwan

As the indisputable food capital in Taiwan, I was already prepared to be bombarded by many traditional food and snacks in Tainan, and told myself I had to be disciplined so that I wouldn't gain more weight! 

But the above store towards the tail end of Anping Old Street enticed me with the irresistible aroma of freshly made egg roll! Purely out of curiosity, I stepped closer for a better look.

Freshly made was a fact and what was more amazing was that they had two flattening machines right on the street to demonstrate how it was made! Literally poured the batter, flattened, rolled with a metal rolling pin, left the stick on one side to cool down, before removal.  

For your viewing pleasure.

Sold in a pack for NT$60, I wasn't ready to indulge in so many sticks as I don't think such freshly made snacks can keep well. In addition, I am known for being clumsiness and wouldn't have to return back to the hotel with crumbled bits instead. 

Happy to see the traditional store did sell single stick!

One stick for NT$15, only about 62 cents! Buy! 

Holding it like a gigantic version of the egg rolls we often have in Singapore during lunar new year, I did feel that the batter was thicker, with an uneven surface. 

Taste wise, it was satisfyingly thick, flaky and so full of the signature eggy flavor! Only bad thing; it wasn't crispy! Good to have it as a snack with a cup of hot tea in a cafe!
