老豆花

Located on Jianzhong Road, "Old Douhua" has a simple and unadorned exterior, serving as a hidden dessert spot for nearby students and office workers.

This time, I ordered the "Soy Milk Douhua + Taro Balls + Taro Paste Balls + Almond Jelly." The bowl was rich in contents, and just the sight of it was very soothing. You can choose between sweetened or unsweetened soy milk, which is a plus; I opted for the unsweetened version to better highlight the aroma of the soy milk, paired with the smooth douhua, creating a delicate, refreshing, and non-greasy texture.

Among the toppings, the taro paste balls stood out. They were creamy and aromatic with a moderate sweetness, and almost every table ordered them, making them a must-try option.

The filling in the taro balls was a bit tough, with a heavier floury texture, which was somewhat disappointing. In contrast, the sweet potato balls were chewy and had a distinct bite, making them more enjoyable. The almond jelly was decent but pretty standard; its overall performance was steady, but it’s not necessarily a must-try.

In conclusion, I recommend "Old Douhua" to those who enjoy douhua and a variety of toppings. Next time you pass by Jianzhong Road, treat yourself to a bowl of douhua with taro paste balls for a soft and soothing experience!
