The Tajik festive cake is famous for its rich selection of French breads and desserts. The chocolate croissant is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of chocolate; the taro pudding has rich layers, is slightly sweet but still highly recommended.
Located on Zhongzheng Road in Yonghe, the bakery and pastry shop Tower Lucky is known for its affordable prices and rich selection. It not only satisfies daily needs for traditional Taiwanese bread but also offers impressive choices of French bread and desserts, with stable offerings and excellent quality.
The Taiwanese bread in-store performs well, but personally, I prefer their attention to detail and delicacy in the French series.
Chocolate Croissant
In Taiwan's humid environment, replicating the distinct layers and flaky, airy texture of French croissants is quite challenging, but this shop does it very well. The croissant's outer layer is crispy, and the inner layers are soft, with a perfect balance of bittersweet chocolate filling—it's not overwhelming; instead, it has a sophisticated sweetness. I recommend reheating it for an even better flavor.
Taro Mousse
This dessert is affordable yet surprisingly delicious, though it seems to be a rotating item? The creamy taro mash paired with the melt-in-your-mouth taro mousse creates a rich taste experience that taro lovers cannot miss. However, it is a bit sweet for my taste, but overall, it is highly recommended.
In summary, Tower Lucky serves as a daily snack stop for local residents and is a delightful pastry shop worth visiting. If you love the flaky, aromatic taste of French croissants and don't want to spend too much, consider stopping by next time you're in the area to pick up a treat and give your taste buds a little surprise.
