The red bean soup of the red bean and sesame dumplings is somewhat sweet, with the red beans cooked until soft. The small dumplings and sesame dumplings perform normally, and overall, it's quite nice to eat in winter. The burnt grass jelly is not too sweet and comes with hard peanuts, offering a rich variety of items.
The restaurant environment is clean, the seating is not very spacious, and there is no need to queue on weekdays, but there might be a slight wait on holidays.

▪️ Red Bean Sesame Rice Balls $90
It’s customary to buy rice balls during the Winter Solstice. In addition to red bean soup, options also include peanut soup or a combination of burned herbal jelly and rice balls. This choice was red bean soup with small rice balls and two sesame rice balls. The portion is moderate, and for 90 NT dollars, it’s not particularly cheap. The red bean soup is on the sweeter side, and the red beans are cooked quite soft; the small rice balls and sesame rice balls perform as expected. Overall, it’s pretty good to enjoy a bowl in winter. Here’s an alternative way to enjoy it: for friends who drink whiskey, adding a little to the red bean soup can balance out the sweetness. Additionally, if you add sherry cask whiskey, it will release tropical fruit flavors when heated, elevating the entire dish.

In conclusion, the items at Xinying Douhua are quite tasty. Personally, I often buy the burned herbal jelly, which is not too sweet, and it also comes with hard peanuts, which is a nice addition. On a side note, there are many shops nearby in Xinying; I’m not sure if they are related businesses.🤣
Today I ordered brown sugar powdered round bean curd ice, special price 80. Dessert after the meal happened to be nearby, so I made it.
The boiled brown sugar is full of aroma, and the powder balls are moderately soft and hard. It is really delicious. The highlight is the tofu pudding hidden underneath. His tofu pudding has a strong charcoal grilled flavor, which is more ancient and early-style. This taste Just pick someone to eat it, I like it, but my daughter doesn’t like it very much. The body of the bean curd is very thick, and coupled with the aroma of charcoal grilling, it tastes full of ancient flavor. I like 😘, recommend one.
