The quality of desserts at Jiajia Dessert is excellent. The combination of coconut-flavored purple rice pudding and walnut pudding showcases both creativity and deliciousness. The addition of corn in the purple rice pudding is particularly surprising and worth recommending. The sesame paste is rich and creamy, with a delicate texture and no bitter taste, making it definitely worth a try.
The seating area of the restaurant is designed to be semi-outdoor, providing a comfortable environment. During lunch hours on weekdays, there is no need to queue, making it a relaxed and pleasant experience.
The staff is friendly, making customers feel welcomed. Although the prices are slightly high, the quality of service complements the deliciousness of the dishes.
The first time I heard about Jiajia Dessert, it was from a report that it was owned by Chow Yun-fat, a beloved store. Having already experienced the level of dessert shops in Hong Kong, and knowing that Jiajia Dessert opened a branch in Taiwan, I decided to give it a try. After just one visit, I became a regular customer. Unfortunately, Jiajia Dessert had previously opened many branches in Taipei, but now only the A11 store in Xinyi District remains.
To be honest, I’ve only tried the hot sesame soup. After ordering and settling the bill, the staff soon brought it to the table. Although Taiwan is not short of black sesame and similar desserts like noodle tea, and even offers black sesame soup brewing packets, it’s not uncommon to find sesame soup at Hong Kong-style tea restaurants that have become popular in Taiwan, yet the taste often doesn't compare to the original quality.
The first requirement for good sesame soup is its creaminess. Judging by appearance alone is not accurate; you can only know the texture by tasting it. It shouldn't be too watery—the thickness is what brings out its aroma—but it also shouldn't have the bitter taste that is often found in common black sesame products. Ultimately, it's about the smooth, rounded flavor experience of this dessert.
While the price can’t exactly be called budget-friendly, it is comparable to many Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, so if you want sesame soup, it’s better to come to Jiajia Dessert.
Jiajia Dessert is Snow Sheep’s favorite dessert shop, no one else❤️
I order sesame paste with almond milk every time! When I checked out today, I discovered that the price had increased! Increased to $118
Although it’s a bit of a bolt from the blue⚡️but I can’t help it, I still love it so much!
Jiajia Dessert is a dessert shop that originated in Jordan, Hong Kong. It is said that it is also the favorite shop of gambling god Chow Yun-fat! I heard the same thing at first, and I thought it was awesome. Then I saw the Michelin Baby badge at the door for five consecutive years, and I knew it must be something special!
Let me tell you how I feel!
Jiajia Dessert's sesame paste and almond milk is a wonderful dessert combination. First of all, their sesame paste has a rich and delicate texture, exuding a strong sesame aroma and bringing a rich taste. The almond milk is fresh and mellow, with a fusion of almond sweetness and milky aroma, with a smooth and smooth taste. Pairing these two flavors together not only enriches the taste buds, but also brings a unique flavor feast. Whether it's to warm up in winter or cool down in summer, although it's quite hot today, I still like it hot. It feels richer and has more fragrance.
In short, this bowl of sesame paste mixed with almond milk is definitely an amazing and delicious dessert that will leave people with endless aftertaste. Moreover, sesame seeds and almonds have health-promoting effects. It is really comfortable to drink it occasionally. 😊
Jiajia Dessert is a dessert shop in Hong Kong that has been recommended by Michelin for many years. I have visited many times. I have eaten at Breeze Beiche and Keelung Road before, but they seem to be closed. The branch I ate at today is located at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A11 On the 2nd floor, it seems to be the only remaining branch in Taipei.
The seating area is semi-outdoor, with about 6 round tables, and each table seats about 3-4 people. The number of seats is not many, but when we come to dine on weekday afternoons, we can sit directly without queuing.
Coconut purple rice dew $110
The purple rice porridge is topped with coconut milk, and the appearance alone makes people drool. In addition to the purple rice porridge itself, there is also a soft thing that looks like a glutinous rice ball, but it breaks when you bite it, and the taste is not like a glutinous rice ball. ; In addition, this bowl of dessert actually contains corn, which tastes completely out of place and has an extra level of texture. It’s so creative and delicious.
This one is a bit sweet, but it tastes so happy. I personally recommend ordering it iced.
Walnut juice + lotus seed red bean paste combo $118
It was my first time to order these two as a double combo. I didn’t expect that walnuts and red beans go so well together. The walnut juice is super rich and it’s very comfortable to drink hot. It suits my appetite.
Overall, the taste of their products suits my taste. Even if the price is a bit high, each product is over $100, it is still a store that I often think of when I want to eat desserts. Unfortunately, this is the only branch left. Everyone. If you come to Xinyi District, I recommend you to eat here!
