🥮 Red Tea Honey Mini Financier $25 (priced by weight)
Today, I came to Johan looking for egg tarts.
(But it seems like I came too early; the display is quite empty.)
The selection in the weighing area is fairly complete, and I saw the sign for the red tea honey mini financier marked “limited time offer”..
🥷 Then a staff member suddenly appeared and asked, “Which one do you need?”
😸 Me: That limited time one, how much does it weigh?
🥷 Staff: Let me check.
❤️ Okay, it's sweet, with a hint of Earl Grey aroma. Easy to eat one bite at a time, no worries about crumbs spilling everywhere. ❤️
‼️ Jahon has very polarized reviews on Google; the negative reviews claim that the prices are high and the food is not delicious. I need to clarify this for Johan: Lalaport's Jahon is a collaboration between Japan's DONQ and France's Johan, so it's normal for Taiwanese people to find it unfamiliar (after all, it's not following the Taiwanese bread style). As for the prices, it really depends on personal preference. I usually buy toast 🍞, and I find it acceptable (getting used to the food is more important 😆).
⛱️ Lalaport's Johan has a dining area with a minimum charge. On weekdays, fewer people dine in, so if you feel that the Starbucks next door is too much like a market, you might consider coming here~~
▶Canelé $60 each◀
A dessert shop run by foreigners, it's a small space that only offers takeout. Their canelé seems a bit hit or miss; I bought two, and one had a very crispy exterior! But the other one was just okay. However, the filling is excellent, soft with a slightly chewy texture. Next time, I would like to try other desserts.
Hidden in the Nanzi residential area is a French dessert shop. Come and taste the delicious flavors brought back by the owner from France! Initially focused on online orders, they recently opened a physical store offering in-store dining three days a week ❤️ I must say, the decor inside and out is simply beautiful!
#Tira-Basque
Basque cheesecake with tiramisu, a very special combination. The top layer of tiramisu is relatively solid, not overly creamy or cloying. The bottom layer of Basque has a strong cheesecake flavor that lingers after each bite. This cake is caffeine-free, making it suitable for those who have trouble sleeping!
#Tiramisu
There are two flavor options: strong coffee and an adult version (contains alcohol). It consists of three layers: the first layer is coffee powder paired with a more solid cream, the second layer is a light sponge cake, and the bottom layer is liquid cream. The texture is rich and not overly sweet.
🍽 Tira-Basque $180
🍽 Tiramisu (strong coffee) $150
🍽 Honey grapefruit tea $110
Note: Minimum spending of $200 per person.
Taipei Neihu - The crepe boss and his wife can't hear or speak (they both use sign language). They are friendly and the ingredients are really delicious!
There are salty and sweet croquettes to choose from ✨
📍Smoked Chicken and Corn Crepe NT$90
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖
The salty version includes adding a little lettuce, corn, cheese, onions, black pepper, and ketchup. There are also three sauces to choose from: salad dressing, honey mustard, and Thai sauce.
If there is something you don’t want to eat, you don’t need to check it on the menu.
I chose the honey mustard sauce and all the others ticked the boxes.
You can choose crispy or soft skin, I choose crispy skin❤️
The crust is crispy, the smoked chicken ingredients are very solid, the lettuce and corn bring out the sweetness and texture, and the ketchup, pepper, and honey mustard sauce make the layers richer. I am very satisfied after eating it!
I also ordered a sweet one:
📍Chocolate crepe NT$50
🌕🌕🌕🌘🌑
This sweet one is better, but the crust is crispier! Tastes a lot like chocolate chip cookies.
▶️ Environment
🔹Mainly takeout. There are 2 tables and chairs on site, so you can sit here and eat.
🔹In addition to selling croquettes, we also sell drinks
▶️ Thoughtful reminder
🔹 You can fill in the form directly and give it to them
🔹 Because they can’t hear or speak, if you really want to order food, don’t call, please send a text message!
🔹 The crepe with rich fillings comes with a spoon! If you don’t have any, you can ask your boss for it.
▶️ Overall evaluation
🔹 The crepes are delicious, the boss and his wife are very nice, you can interact with them through body movements ~ I will want to come back to try other flavors!
: I want to eat this dessert when I go there this time. I heard it’s very good.
A friend of mine found this little Sam's Curry. I heard it's a great Curry in the north, so of course we had to make a pilgrimage to it.
"Petit Sam Liu" is located in an alley in Da'an District, close to Liuzhangli MRT Station. I'm not sure whether it is open together with a flower shop. When you enter, you will be filled with the fragrance of flowers. The small counter at the back is the main store.
It seems that Little Sam's only had online shopping channels in the past. Now that it has opened a physical store, it can be imagined that the business is good. The interior decoration of the store is very simple and Korean-style, and it feels like the Internet is mainly used to pick up goods.
In addition to coli, they also sell Charlie Brown, lemon frosting cake, tiramisu, and dacquoise.
The ingredients of Kerilu are very pure and high-end
Japanese violet flour/French Elewe salt-free fermented cream/Madagascar vanilla pods/Imported lime wine/Taiwanese farm humane pastured eggs hand-baked with top beeswax
Ice cream crepe 💰150
It's a very rich milk-flavored ice cream with half of the original coriander on top. It's really delicious when you eat it. The outer shell is extremely crispy and it has a rich aroma. The tea aroma must be better.
Pure Tea Series Kerilu 💰460

I ate four of them at different times. They may not have cooled down when I first got them. They tasted hard and crispy. The tea powder and powdered leaves inside were very rich in flavor. They tasted full of aroma and matched each flavor. The taste in our memory, after being left for a while to eat, after the inside softened a little, it tasted like ice cream, but the aroma remained unchanged.
Thoughts: If you want to try it, I recommend the ice cream. Half a can of coli is not enough, but it is very good. Three of us ate one box, and we all agreed that it is not suitable to eat more. It is a bit wasteful, and the outer skin is really crispy. It's a bit hard, and my mouth is a little sore after eating it. Unfortunately, it's not sold individually, so I might not be willing to buy it.
If you pay attention to food: the outside is so crispy that it’s a bit hard to bite, but it’s delicious.
(It’s a pity that they are not sold individually. If you want to try ice cream, I recommend it.
If you value the environment: go with a flower shop and have a small one
Pay attention to parking: motorcycles can be parked at the door, but cars are not easy to park.
If attention is paid to toilets: None, take-out shops
If you pay attention to queuing: the speed is very fast and there is almost no need to queue.
If you value service: ordinary
If you pay attention to CP value: 🌟🌟🌟
(Just talking about food and prices)
A very good French sweet tart shop (mainly for takeout)
This lemon tart is the best lemon tart I have ever tasted🍋 The acidity is high enough, not too sweet, and the tart crust is crispy. Every element is performed very well, and the combination is impeccable😍
The matcha yuzu tart is also great. The matcha flavor is rich but not sweet. The thin yuzu filling is sandwiched on the bottom layer to make the whole thing more layered. The tart skin is as crispy and delicious as the lemon tart.
You can basically choose the sweet tart here with your eyes closed. The caramel chocolate one I had last time was also delicious (but a bit sweeter), and the baked brûlée was also very good~
This restaurant is mainly for takeout. Although there are two small chairs inside, I have never seen anyone using them inside (you need low-consumption drinks inside, but the seats inside are really not very good. I would recommend Takeout)
Ps. This store can collect points by Line, just one tower! When you collect enough point cards, you can exchange them for a new tower~~
A new good store opens in Taoyuan!
I seriously say that I will add this to my collection, and it will become popular in the future.
They started by selling macarons online and started operating physical stores in April.
The menu is still under development, and there are currently not many types, about 5 or 6.
The store is bright and clean, and relaxing French songs are playing.
chill and easy to shoot, love it
Ordered this time
🌟Mango Charlotte 180
🌟Vanilla Santo Noir 200
🌟Tiramisu 110
🌟Original Latte 120
🌟Lemon sea salt sparkling drink 160
(One drink for internal use, time limit is 90 minutes when full)
Each of their desserts has a little surprise
I especially like Mango Charlotte 🥹
The aroma of the almond cake on the outer layer is very charming
The passion fruit and mango fillings have a perfect balance of sweet, sour and creamy flavors.
The special thing is the addition of coriander
I don’t particularly like coriander, I was a little scared at first
But the slightly special smell of coriander actually makes the whole thing more harmonious, which is wonderful
Reminds me of the pho cocktail I drank in Hanoi in April
Very memorable, you can try it whether you like coriander or not🫶
Vanilla Santo Noir
The little caramel puffs are so beautiful, like gems set in a crown.
The top layer of caramel is crispy and bitter-sweet, while the inner layer of custard is as smooth as silk.
The mille-feuille at the bottom is more compact and solid.
The little surprises hidden in the center are for everyone to experience in the store.
I really recommend this little baby with distinct layers😍
Tiramisu looks so cute
The bottom layer is crispy puffs
What’s served is not finger biscuits but coffee almond cake body
The mascarpone on top is less soggy
The overall coffee aroma is rich and has a puffy taste.
I really like the little improvements made by their pastry chef!
The flavors of French macarons are very attractive
Sweet, salty, spicy and sour
It’s not overly sweet once you eat it, and it overturned my impression of macarons.
Finally, drinks 🥤
I would be really angry if it was a drink but it didn’t taste good.
They also take good care of their drinks.
This time I drank lemon sea salt sparkling drink which was really delicious! Thumbs up!
Slightly salty, the whole cup has the natural taste of pickled lemon slices
You can eat lemon slices
Not sour, not bitter, lemony with a slight sweetness, I... really... like it...
In the 27 years I have known my mother, it was the first time I heard her praise a fizzy drink.
I really want to buy the pickled lemon alone🥹🥹🥹
Except for refrigerated desserts
The store also sells room-temperature snacks such as croissants, Financiers, and nut tarts.
Provide customized wedding cakes and full-month gift boxes
I would also like to try other items next time!
Summarize:
Love it here so much! Refreshed my understanding of desserts
The warm decoration and friendly service staff in the store are also big pluses.
If I have to say that there is something that I feel is a pity,
Probably I secretly hope to have iced tea🤣
Estimate Dog Map 4.9🌟Record of Rollover
This hotel is near the MRT Science and Technology Building Station
The boss is French and the store is small.
Sells various French pastries
The star product seems to be Claro
I see many people saying that because the production is limited and sold out quickly, you have to queue up to buy.
But I arrived around 13:00 during the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was quite a lot of crepe left on the baking sheet.
Corilu costs 60 a piece, which is quite big.
When I took a bite, I thought the crispiness was about... 65 points, and the shell was quite thin.
The sweetness is not high, and the inner layer is very, very moist.
I don't know if this is authentic or not, I just know that I don't like the taste.
About five hours later I ate another one and the skin was even worse.
When I took the first pill, I didn’t look at the pores carefully.
I took the second pill in the car and looked closely, and I found a lump that was completely mixed together.
The pores are super uneven...I really can't fix this.
Another thing worth mentioning is
I've noticed that the lower-rated reviews for Dogs usually focus on the fact that the outer shell isn't crispy.
The boss will reply: Oh, Taiwan is relatively humid, so it’s normal that it’s not crispy.
But I have eaten coli that is still crispy at room temperature in summer.
I don’t think this answer is okay. After all, we are opening a store in Taiwan today.
Before going, I read the reviews of Dog Appraisal carefully.
Because if you have a high score, I’m afraid it will be brushed off.
After reading it carefully, I think everyone seriously recommends it.
Maybe it’s just not to my taste QQQ
Located inside the M3 exit of the CNR, Tanuki Xiaolu has been popular all over Taiwan since its origins in Tainan. I had long wanted to try it when I went to Tainan, but unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I ended up going to Riverbed Dessert and missed it. Now it finally has a branch at Taipei Main Station. ~ Tanukikoji’s signature products, in addition to the layer cake, the clerk said that the naked cake, the first snow cake and the King Gosan-yaki are also their popular products, and all the cakes are provided by the same central kitchen as the Tainan main store, so the taste There shouldn’t be much difference, so you can feel free to taste it! The store also displays and sells cookie gift boxes from Mr. Crocodile, another brand of the same group. The price is not too expensive, and the exquisite and cute packaging is also suitable as a souvenir or as a snack for yourself~
Having said so much, I still have to eat the Thousand Layers for the first time🤣
The current discount is 20 off for two pieces (equal to -10 per piece), and 80 off for four pieces (equal to -20 for each piece), which is very suitable for group purchases!
This time I ordered Shizuoka Matcha and Lychee Rose. Since it is a takeout-only store, you can only eat it in a nearby public dining area or take it home to enjoy. However, Tanukikoji’s takeout bags are super cute and the colors are really good. It suits my aesthetics, so I’ll give it a bigger score😍
The lychee rose is quite special. The rose smells very fragrant. I am not sure whether there is any fragrance used, but it is not so fragrant that it is uncomfortable. For the lychee part, in addition to the light sweetness of the lychee, lemon juice should also be added. The sourness of the fruit is increased, making the taste more layered. Overall, it is delicious and not greasy. The ratio of fresh cream to crust is also just right, and the taste is perfect.
The taste of Shizuoka Matcha is different from the common Matcha Melaleuca. It retains the slight bitterness and fragrance of Matcha. It is not made to be sweet. When you first eat it, you are not used to it. You will feel that the presence of Matcha powder sprinkled on it is fresher than Matcha. The cream is strong, but once I got used to it, I found it quite delicious. However, in comparison, I felt it was a bit monotonous at the end of the meal, so it’s suitable for sharing with friends~
Next time I want to try the apple flavored millet.
Exquisite French dessert, very beautiful in appearance and delicate in taste✨
▫️Butterfly $200
▫️Pistachio tart $180
▫️Chestnut Mont Blanc $170
The red heart-shaped "butterfly" is definitely a highlight of this store. The appearance is so exquisite, and there are no blind spots in 360 degrees when you look up close! It is made with bitter-sweet chocolate mousse as the main tone, and the inside is filled with sour-sweet raspberry and rose-flavored mousse. The overall sweetness is just right without being overly sweet, and the bitterness of the chocolate adds to the maturity of the overall taste! One that performs very well!
The pistachio tart also has a mousse texture, but unfortunately the pistachio seasoning is a little light. You can only taste the pistachio flavor in the mousse when you eat it alone. Their "Tower" is very special. It has a thin layer of puff pastry on the outside and an almond flour base on the inside. The bottom of the tower is even more impressive than the mousse on top.
The chestnut puree on the outer layer of chestnut Mont Blanc is fragrant but a little dry, and the white cream in the middle is refreshing but tasteless. The overall taste is good but not a particularly impressive Mont Blanc; the bottom of this tower is happy The fruit tart is the same, very unique to their family. People who come here highly recommend ordering a dessert with this kind of tart base to try.
drinks
▫️Tahiti Love $170
▫️Sicilian coffee $130
Tahitian Love is a tea with caramel aroma (it is sugar-free, but has a rich caramel aroma), which is very delicious; Sicilian Coffee is a pot of sparkling water and lemon coffee separately for the individual to mix, refreshing Both drinks are good to relieve heat and fatigue.
atmosphere
It feels like this store must have been open for a while, and the interior environment is a bit old (the walls, tables and chairs have a slightly dated feel)
The food was very good, especially the "butterfly" was amazing
The other French desserts also look very good and I will want to return to unlock them in the future.
