Mini Lemon Tart - $50

A popular French dessert shop with high online popularity, featuring a clean, comfortable, and bright environment, exuding a very high-end atmosphere. They also offer tea and snacks for dine-in, which adds to the quality of the dessert experience. The fresh cream rolls and various cookies are priced such that buying more results in greater discounts, with special prices for buying three or four. Other cake types are exquisite and high-end, with occasional promotional offers. Overall, I really like it.
I've tried several flavors of the fresh cream rolls. The cake base is fluffy, and the cream is very creamy without being overly sweet. The flavors (like matcha, chocolate, etc.) are rich and diverse, making the combinations quite impressive. This time, I bought the Feuillantine, which has a mildly sweet white chocolate flavor. It's delicious and photo-worthy, and I happened to catch a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Highly recommended!
💠Hot food tastes the best~ especially that moment when the cheese is slightly melted, it’s truly healing💠
Hi~ everyone, I'm Wolf Wolf 🪽
Today, I'm here to introduce an upgraded version of a childhood afternoon tea memory 🍘
The old soul of Taiwanese desserts: "Keli Pie" has evolved!
🌮【Tuna Keli Pie】
The outer layer is a freshly fried crispy crepe, crunchy and not sticky. The filling is a savory tuna paired with crunchy shredded cabbage, corn, and rich cheese slices, finished off with a sprinkle of pepper for flavor. The combination of salty and sweet is rich in layers and you can’t stop after just one bite!
📍A reminder for everyone: The shop may occasionally change its stall location, so it's safer to follow their IG stories before heading out! 💡

Located on Zhuangjing Road near Beiyi, Jiudou Ice Products is a dessert shop specializing in variety of douhua (tofu pudding) with numerous toppings. With affordable and friendly prices, along with a rich selection of options and attentive service, it attracts many local students and office workers. Even on weekday evenings, you can see plenty of customers coming to enjoy their treats. This time, we tasted two different sugar-free doujiang (soy milk) douhua combinations, and the overall experience was satisfying—definitely a place worth revisiting!
First of all, there is the option of sugar-free soy milk! This is a thoughtful design for those who don’t have a sweet tooth or want to avoid excessive sugar intake at night. The soy milk is not too watery, smooth and non-astringent, complementing the soft and tender douhua perfectly.
《Sugar-Free Soy Milk Douhua + Pearls, Mung Beans, Job’s Tears》
The pearls are just the right amount of springy, not too sticky; the mung beans and job's tears are cooked perfectly—not too mushy or too hard, offering a rich and layered texture without being overwhelming, making it a perfect summer midnight snack.
《Sugar-Free Soy Milk Douhua + Taro Balls, Sweet Potato Balls, Job’s Tears》
The Q texture of the taro and sweet potato balls is excellent, carrying a natural aroma of taro and sweet potato, and they do not have an overly artificial taste. When mixed with the douhua and job's tears, they create a full yet non-greasy texture. The only downside was that the taro was sold out that day, which was such a pity! I’ll definitely return specifically for the taro next time!
It is worth mentioning that you can actually refill the soy milk! This is quite rare in dessert shops. When the soy milk is nearly finished, you can add more, preventing the entire dessert bowl from becoming dry when the soy milk runs out. This meticulous and flexible design greatly enhances the dining experience.
In summary, Jiudou Ice Products is a high-quality douhua specialty store (I haven't tried the ice products section). It's especially suitable for friends looking for a late-night snack without wanting something too sweet or heavy. The aroma of sugar-free soy milk blends perfectly with the delicate douhua, and the variety of toppings, combined with reasonable prices, makes for a satisfying and guilt-free treat. If you have the chance to pass by near Beiyi, it is highly recommended to give it a try.
This dessert shop is just near my house, but strangely, despite living here for so long, I've never stepped inside. Maybe it's because every time I pass by, I always see a line of people waiting, so I’ve just quietly observed. Today, I happened to have some free time and picked an off-peak period to visit; there weren't many people in the shop, so I could slowly think about what I wanted to eat.
Nectar Grass with Fresh Milk (50 NT$)
The nectar grass has a smooth and tender texture, and it’s pleasantly cool; it's quite nice. The fresh milk itself is rich and creamy, and when combined with the refreshing taste of the nectar grass, the sweetness is just right – not too cloying at all, each bite is very comfortable.
In this bowl, you can choose three toppings, and I picked taro balls, small glutinous rice balls, and sweet potato balls.
However, if you eat all three together… it’s hard to distinguish the individual flavors 🤣 because their textures are quite similar, all bouncy and chewy.
The shop is generous with the toppings, piled high in the bowl, so you can almost get toppings in every bite, which makes for a very satisfying experience! The best part is that after drinking, there’s still a lot of toppings left! Plus, there are many topping options to choose from! Not bad~

🧸 Although they open at 11, I arrived around 11:15, and the cakes were not fully set out yet; only about a third was displayed, so there’s no need to arrive too early.
🧸 The coolest thing is that there are many designs on the right side of the counter, and I found out you can order and pick them up right away! However, the only cake flavor available is tiramisu, which I think is very friendly for foreign travelers or those who forget to order a cake!
🔅 In addition to ordering a whole cake, you can also choose 6 pieces to create a cake, and the price is calculated based on the selected cakes!
Today I visited this small egg cake shop, which features a cute little food cart. Although it's not large, it looks clean and tidy overall, and you can smell the delicious aroma of eggs from afar. The small cart also has a menu with various flavors, making it hard for me to choose just one since I want to try them all! 😂
Bursting Creamy Custard Egg Cake (60 NTD)
Right from the first bite, I was amazed by the portion size; there are a total of four pieces inside. The moment I bite into it, the creamy custard filling bursts out, sweet yet slightly savory, and it’s not overly rich at all. The outer skin has a slightly crispy texture, paired with a fluffy filling, making it incredibly comforting. I finished all four pieces in no time 🥹 so delicious!
Brown Sugar Mochi Custard (Gift from the owner)
If you add the shop as a LINE friend, they randomly give you one egg cake; today, the owner gifted me this brown sugar mochi filled with custard. The filling is equally delicious and rich, the mochi is soft and chewy with a hint of brown sugar aroma, and it pairs surprisingly well with the custard cream. It’s a small piece but packed with happiness! My friend and I finished it in no time.
I would definitely want to come back for a visit; the price is reasonable, high cost-performance, and the flavors are great!! Perfect for my taste buds~ Although the owner looks a bit fierce, he is very friendly, warm, and hospitable. We chatted until the food was ready, and while I was about to leave with my order, I nearly forgot to pay! 🫣😅
💠 Sweetness is a language of summer. With a bowl of frozen dessert, let your mood cool down as well. 💠

🍧 Signature Frozen Dessert (Red Beans + Job's Tears + Grass Jelly + Matcha Jelly + Taro Balls + Sweet Potato Balls) This bowl is absolutely filled with sincerity! The ingredients are freshly made every day, without any industrial feel—you can truly taste the warmth of handmade goodness 🍵. The red beans are cooked until creamy, Job's Tears are plump and fragrant, while the Grass Jelly and Matcha Jelly are smooth and refreshing. The Taro Balls and Sweet Potato Balls are the soul of the bowl, with a chewy texture and a subtle natural sweetness when bitten into 🍠💜. The shop even thoughtfully includes a dollop of cream, adding a rich milky flavor to the entire dessert—it's really a nice bonus!
The dining area is right behind the stall, where you can sit down and slowly enjoy this bowl of summer coolness ⛱️. After a stroll in the night market, enjoying a bowl is just perfect!

🔹🏠: A Q Frozen Dessert
🔹📍: No. 107, Ziqiang 3rd Road, Lingya District, Kaohsiung City
A highly-rated cake shop located near the Xingtian Temple MRT station, it was originally a popular smoked barbecue restaurant. Although it is situated in an alley, the environment is spacious, clean, bright, and comfortable. While there is no dine-in area, the atmosphere is quite pleasant.
The main feature is the chiffon cake, paired with various seasonal fruits and imported cream. The cake is moist, with the cream being slightly sweet and not too rich, while the fruit is fresh and sweet. The overall combination is quite nice, and it's even better when paired with some tea snacks. They also provide utensils and candles.
In the Pingtung area, when looking for traditional desserts, "Fuqian Pudding Tofu Flower" is often a favorite among locals. Although the decor is not Instagram-worthy, its affordability and friendly service have won many hearts. This time, I ordered the popular three-color pudding tofu flower, which delights both visually and in flavor.
The three-color pudding tofu flower presented three layers of colors: pure white tofu flower, golden pudding, and light brown cocoa color, drizzled with mildly sweet chocolate syrup, making the whole bowl exude a strong old-fashioned flavor. Taking the first bite, the tofu flower is smooth and has a texture that melts in your mouth; the pudding has a soft consistency, moderate sweetness, but the soy milk aroma is prominent; the cocoa pudding has a slight bitterness that contrasts with the syrup. The overall sweetness is perfectly balanced, not cloying, satisfying the nostalgia for traditional desserts.
Not only are the dishes well-received, but the service attitude of the shop also adds to the experience, making one feel as warm as returning home. This time, I also brought my small dog along, and the owner even proactively offered a few ice cubes for the dog to lick. That warmth and attentiveness made the overall impression more vivid and reflected the welcoming atmosphere of this place. If you prefer traditional offerings and want to enjoy a bowl of pudding tofu flower that is not too sweet and carries a sense of nostalgia, this is a great choice.
