Dessert shop ~ It's so special to have desserts at a dinner place. I was full to the brim and I don't even know why, hahaha~ Every dish is exquisite and unique. The presentation at the counter is like watching a performance, very professional and consistent. The explanations of the dishes are clear and straightforward, and the taste... well, you have to try it to really know. The environment is upscale, refined, hygienic, and tidy. It was a wonderful experience.
A dessert place very close to home. There’s only one three-person seat for dining in, and it’s limited to thirty minutes. It's suggested to take it to go instead. When my friend and I were dining in, we also saw customers coming in to pick up their pre-ordered cakes～
It's a quaint and delicate dessert shop, with an exterior decorated in a blue and white European style, which stands out quite a bit from the surrounding old rural houses and alleys XD
🌻 Green Grape Earl Grey Chiffon Cake $135
Considering its appearance, it’s not expensive, but it is rather small. The tea flavor isn’t particularly strong upon first bite, but the chiffon cake itself is soft and fragrant when you chew it～ It’s on the sweeter side. Overall, it’s quite delicious! My friend and I both agree on that.
They also offer many different types of cakes, and there isn’t a fixed menu. If you like chiffon cakes, you should give it a try! I’d love to have it again if I get the chance!

After finishing the main meal, let’s have some dessert!
Even though it's December, it’s still perfect for having some ice.
Visiting in the afternoon on a weekday, there’s not much of a wait.
The payment method is to put in cash and get change yourself.
The price has gone from 25 NT dollars before to the current price of 40 NT dollars per bowl.
There are options for flavors including tangyuan (glutinous rice balls), mung bean, red bean, peanut, crispy balls, and mixed.
You can mix and match, order individually, or just select a mixed bowl.
This time, I chose the three types: “peanut, tangyuan, and crispy balls.”
The tangyuan is freshly cooked and has a chewy texture, while the crispy balls have a very special crunch.
The peanuts are creamy but there’s not much of it; it’s really not enough to satisfy.
The ice with sweet syrup is a bit too sweet for me.
Next time I visit, I might ask them to use less syrup.
In summary, if you come to Beigang, it’s worth a try!

The famous East District taro balls – even on weekday afternoons, it is still packed with customers, as if there’s never a time when there are no patrons. It’s really impressive; the shop is bright and clean. After the renovation several years ago, the environment is very nice, but on the flip side, the prices have also continued to rise. The variety of dishes is rich with many options, and perhaps due to the good business, the ingredients also feel quite fresh. Overall, there are no issues; it’s delicious.
It's still my favorite Taiwanese snack,
the unbeatable red bean cake wheel.
After wandering around Liuhe Night Market, I realized
there's just this one stall selling red bean cakes,
no wonder the business is so good!
You have to wait quite a while though~
Many foreigners buy them,
but there’s no organized queue,
so everyone just orders randomly!
It all depends on the owner's memory...
They have red beans, cream, Oreo chocolate, and sweet corn cheese!
One costs $30, four cost $100.
They're a bit bigger than the usual cake wheels,
and the owner packs them generously,
they're not bad for a snack!
This stall's dough is crispy, quite tasty,
my favorite cream flavor is superb!
The classic red bean flavor is pretty good too!
Cake wheels are actually sold everywhere,
they all taste great,
but there’s nothing particularly outstanding,
so I just buy them whenever I see them!
It seems to be a newly opened shop.
As a person who loves taro desserts, I definitely had to come and try it.
Today I ordered a medium cup of red bean paste!?
The medium cup is 85 TWD, and the large cup is 145 TWD.
My impression after finishing it is that I probably won’t eat this again, haha.
The ingredients inside include red bean paste, taro paste, milk mochi, sago, taro balls, and kanten jelly (it tastes like it, but I’m not sure), plus corn flakes.
Overall, it’s not too sweet.
The only thing that should be sweet inside is the red bean paste.
The overall combination is just right.
The taro paste is very creamy.
The milk mochi is a bit different from what I expected; it’s not as sticky as mochi, but rather has a texture that’s in between a thick pudding.
It’s quite a unique texture.
I heard that there is a very famous pastry shop in Huwei, Yunlin, but aside from pastries, they also sell a limited item called Tiger Month Cake, which is actually somewhat like dorayaki.
This time I ordered the matcha Tiger Month Cake. Because it's made fresh upon order, the cake skin is very soft and also has a fragrant aroma. Inside, there is a piece of cold matcha cake, which is slightly lacking as the matcha flavor isn't very strong and is quite mild. Lastly, it also has some red bean paste, which is very nice; it has sweetness but isn't overly sweet.
Overall, it was quite delicious, but personally, I feel the price isn't exactly cheap.
Overall: 3.5/5 stars
My friend is a puzzle enthusiast, so he liked it quite a bit.
I personally think it's okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place.
📌 Wi-Fi, no power sockets, and the seating is a bit small.
💰 Service charge applies.
📌 Puzzle café (brunch)
Limited to 3 hours on weekends, no time limit on weekdays.
It’s better to make a reservation online for safety.
📌 Environment
The tables are just regular two-person tables and quite small.
After two people set up a puzzle, there’s hardly any space left for drinks or meals. They sell puzzles, so if you’re interested, you can take a look around.
📌 Service
There is a service charge,
but they don’t proactively clear the items away.
To make space for the puzzle, I had to take my empty plates to them myself.
When I finished my water, I had to refill it myself too.
I guess their service charge might just be a share of the puzzle fee?
📌 Meals
🍽️ Salt-baked snowflake grilled meat (rice)
The meal comes with a small cup of orange juice.
There are two slices of meat, the thick kind.
The rice portion is sufficient for a woman.
It’s not too wet; it’s just right.
I personally thought it was pretty good and would recommend it. 👍🏻
