Since the first time I heard the name "Banqiao Pudding Xianren," I was very curious and thought I definitely had to try it at least once! 🍮
This time I made a reservation in advance through Inline.
The shop is small but quite cute; really, there's an abundance of Moai statues and pudding everywhere you can see, whether it's the large version outside or the miniature version inside—very interesting! 🤣

Although I had seen many fancy puddings on IG Reels before, with dry ice or fire shows, this time I suddenly wanted to go for a simple route... so I ordered the basic flavors.
⚠️ The minimum consumption per person in the store is 150 NT.

✐ Fanren Series Moan Caramel Pudding $70
✐ Charcoal Roasted Tieguanyin Pudding $80
✐ Royal Earl Grey Tea Pudding $90

I really recommend trying the original flavor pudding first before trying another one. I happen to love tea-flavored snacks, so my friend and I each ordered a different one to taste.
Previously, I had heard a description of Moan's tea puddings on a YouTuber's channel. They mentioned that many tea desserts might not have a noticeable tea component or only have a faint hint, but with Mr. Moan’s, you can really taste it. I couldn't agree more, as I've often had the experience of being misled at other dessert shops, sometimes even feeling deceived. But trust me, if you love tea flavors, you won't be disappointed here; the moment it hits your palate, the tea flavor bursts out! 🫖
Moreover, after finishing two, I really didn't see any air holes in the pudding; it's quite rich and aromatic, paired perfectly with the slightly bitter caramel sauce.
The whipped cream on top also adds to the smooth texture of the pudding.
Next time if I'm nearby, I would still want to come in for a pudding, but it's not to the extent of needing to run a long way for it! (Maybe my love for pudding isn't that intense yet, sigh...😂)
However, after finishing, I took out a few dozens to share with colleagues, and they all liked it! 😚

transportation:

The store is located at Beijie "Banqiao Station" or "Xinpu Station", halfway between the two MRT stations. It takes about 8 to 12 minutes to walk from the station. The Google navigation location is a bit unclear. You may reach your destination (at the corner of a T-shaped intersection) by walking 30 meters straight from the navigation point. Please pay attention to this!

Dining experience:

The space inside the store is small, with terrazzo floors and a feel of an old house. The color of the decoration is orange-red, which is reminiscent of the color of Hermès. It looks bright and noble. The seats are bar seats and high chair seats (there are hooks on the wall below this area for guests to hang their belongings).
You can see Moai-related gadgets everywhere inside and outside the store. In addition, there are also hunter dolls and comics, which may be the boss’s favorite collections...
During the meal, I saw several groups of customers coming to the store without reservations, so they had to wait for an hour for a table. It is recommended to make a reservation before coming to the store.

Meal sharing:

The names of the ingredients are taken from the Hunter’s Greedy Island Chapter!

✨Archangel’s Breath (Immortal) $120
It consists of caramel pudding and vanilla ice cream. There are three topping sauces to choose from (toffee/brown sugar/espresso). This time, we chose brown sugar topping. The sauce has a unique taste (non-traditional brown sugar flavor) and is paired with Eat it with pudding for a finishing touch! ! !

✨Princess Matcha’s Automatic Notes (Speciality) $233
It consists of matcha pudding, matcha ice cream, matcha jelly, sugar-roasted dumplings and purple rice and red bean sweet soup. Among them, the sugar-roasted dumplings are impressive. They are baked and crispy on the outside (with a slight sugar aroma), soft and tender on the inside, and taste layered. feel.
Most of this pudding is made from matcha-related ingredients, so people who like matcha must not miss it!

The above two kinds of pudding will be sprinkled with dry ice, the clouds will be misty, and the fairy spirit will burst into the sky! ! !

✨The Blessing of the Dominator $120
It is composed of peach, sparkling water, green tea and orange juice. Taken together, it is sweet and sour, fresh and refreshing, and has a slight irritation from the bubbles. Overall, it is quite balanced and refreshing.

Thoughts:

The owner of the store wrote "Save the world with pudding". I guess the meaning may be that he wants to use the simplest way to create small blessings in life! The puddings are divided into six series, adding innovative elements to the traditional pudding taste, making the pudding taste richer and more diverse.
