      What business should a career military man start after retiring from service as a commander? The answer is to start over, learning from the basics. Ning Po Fried Dumpling's owner, Mr. Shen, traveled to Keelung to learn from his relative how to make delicious and unique fried dumplings. He arose around 4 a.m. every morning and worked until late at night, and finally learned the skills required to make good pastries. Dishes range from fried dumplings, big wontons and yam ramen to cheese scones accompanied with the house special, charcoal-cooked soy milk, which the hostess guarantees is so good that, "The more you drink, the healthier you'll be!" She once was the owner of a product counter in a department store, but full-heartedly dove into managing the new business with her husband. Commencing with health as the first step, she incorporated the new "3-low, 2-high" gastronomic concept into each of her shop's dishes. She is also actively developing yam, tomato, and spinach dumpling wrappers, which are truly “Low-fat, low-salt, low-cholesterol, high-iron and highly fresh.” After initially setting up a stand in an evening market, they gained a good reputation, and now own their own storefront. They stress that everything must be continually improving. They even put their hearts into making the sauces from garlic paste, hot peppers and fruit pastes. For those who love good pastries, it is truly worthwhile to visit Ning Po Fried Dumplings.
