💰About the prices💰
Taro Milk Drink $50
🍴About the food☕
Personally, I’m not a fan of taro’s fluffy texture, but I do like the flavor of taro. This Taro Milk Drink is made by smashing taro and mixing it with milk, so I can tolerate drinking a few small particles. The rich taro aroma makes it really delicious; however, I’m not sure if sugar was added, but it does taste a bit sweet.
🤨Conclusion♥
This place is always crowded whenever I pass by. If I am heading to Xinshe, I will definitely stop by this store. However, I mostly only order the Taro Milk Drink and haven’t tried other items. If I have more time, I might give them a try.
This is a store that you will definitely come to eat if you come to climb Tai Hang Trail No. 9. It has different flavors, hot and cold. Some of the hot products can also be added with ginger juice, which is suitable for people who are afraid of the cold in winter.
This time I ordered hot taro mixed soup, and my family and friends ordered taro red beans and ginger juice and taro sago.
There are 3 dense pieces of honeyed taro in the taro soup. Every time I eat it, I am amazed by its delicious and delicate texture at the same time. Friends who like taro must try it. The red beans are boiled until the skin and flesh are soft, and it is easy to stick to your mouth. The inside melted. Pearls, taro balls and sweet potato balls taste a little smoother and softer than Dongdong taro balls, which may be due to the heat. So next time if the weather is hot, you can try iced taro balls to see if they are better. Compare W.
In addition, the ginger juice is not very spicy (family members say). If you like taro but don’t want to be too full, you can also choose taro sago. The rich taro flavor of milk is mixed with every bite, so it is worth a try.
After climbing the Dakeng Trail, you must have a bowl of taro dessert every time you go down the mountain!
This shop sells both hot and cold desserts, but after all, Taiwan has more hot days than cold days, so most people come here to enjoy the ice cream!
This time I ordered a bowl of taro ball mixed (ice) and taro milk juice (ice). The taro ball mixed ice is the most popular item for internal use. If you want to drink it conveniently, the taro sago dew is also a bestseller👍
It is stated on the menu that the taro combo contains taro balls, sweet potato balls, taro, pearls, and red beans. Additional condensed milk is free.
A bowl of taro balls has a lot of ingredients and is full of satiety. If you carefully count the ingredients, you will find that there are even more large pinto beans! I saw many people eating together. I was so full after eating one bowl alone...
The taro milk juice is relatively ordinary, but you can drink small crushed ice, pureed honeyed taro and ordinary milk in it.
In terms of hand-held cups, overall I recommend ordering the taro sago juice, but if you don’t want to be so full, the taro milk juice is also an option.
