這幾年因為參加鹽水蜂炮的關係，幾乎每年都會到新營第二市場這邊覓食。話雖如此，但還是有店沒有吃到，這家新進肉丸就是其中之一。
In recent years, due to attending the Yanshui Beehive Fireworks, I visit Xinying Second Market almost every year for food. That being said, there are still shops I haven't tried yet, and "Xinjin Meatball" was one of them.
今年為何會去吃咧?其實理由滿令人沮喪的，據說這場聚落已決定拆除，可能明年此時再訪，已經成為綠地公園跟停車場。聽肉丸老闆說，政治真的很黑暗啊。也許這是冰箱最後一次在這邊吃小吃，說什麼也要寫幾篇文章來紀錄一下才是。
Why did I decide to eat here this year? The reason is quite depressing: it's rumored that this market cluster is slated for demolition. By this time next year, it might be replaced by a green park or parking lot. According to the owner, politics can be quite grim. This might be the last time I dine here, so I must record this through my writing.
這家肉丸是台南地區比較少見用油泡的，一般台南賣的肉丸以清蒸較為普遍。攤子上的鍋灶，看起來都充滿了歲月的痕跡。用餐環境就這一丁點兒大，這邊每家店幾乎都差不多。桌上調味料有蒜泥、辣椒粉、以及甜辣醬等等，自行取用。
This meatball shop uses the oil-soaking method, which is rare in Tainan where steamed meatballs are more common. The stoves at the stall are covered in the marks of time. The dining area is tiny, much like every other shop here. Seasonings like garlic paste, chili powder, and sweet chili sauce are available on the tables.
米糕(25元) 看起來還頗真材實料。肉丸(50元/2粒)，雖然是兩粒，不過份量上不如中部的一大顆。吃肉丸一定要加香菜才對味！內餡是用赤肉片而非絞肉，沒放五香調味，口味較清爽，皮很Q彈。加點甜辣醬更夠味，新營的小吃不會太甜，合我口味。
The Savory Rice Cake (25 NTD) looks very authentic. The Meatballs (50 NTD for 2) are smaller than the single large ones found in Central Taiwan. I believe meatballs must be paired with cilantro! The filling uses lean pork slices instead of minced meat, without five-spice seasoning, offering a cleaner taste with a very chewy skin. Adding some sweet chili sauce makes it even better. Snacks in Xinying aren't overly sweet, which suits my taste perfectly.
鴨肉羹(30元) 台南市區的鴨肉羹通常極甜，還好新營這碗還算正常。羹湯裡有帶皮鴨肉與鮮筍絲，用的應該是鴨架子熬的高湯，味道鮮美。老闆說若市場拆了，會搬到附近的 7-11 繼續營業。雖然老市場可能會消失，但美味還是會延續下去。
Duck Meat Thick Soup (30 NTD). While duck soup in Tainan city is usually extremely sweet, the one here in Xinying is quite balanced. It contains duck meat with skin and fresh bamboo shoot shreds, likely using a broth made from duck bones. The owner mentioned that if the market is demolished, they will move to a nearby 7-11 to continue their business. The old market might disappear, but the flavor will carry on.
