Service Quality: The staff speaks very gently.
Menu Item: Special caramel custard with fresh strawberries.
Taste of the Dish: The mille-feuille pastry is very crisp and thin; there’s a bit of bitterness due to the caramel, but overall, it’s a refreshing dessert that’s not overly sweet. Upon taking a bite, you first smell the aroma of the custard sauce, then the sweetness of the custard comes through, followed by the fragrance of the strawberries and the moisture and sweetness of the fruit itself. I initially thought the strawberries would be very sour and unpalatable, but the shop has managed the details well. You can taste the slight acidity of the strawberries, but it complements the sweet custard sauce nicely.
Other Suggestions: I originally intended to buy this in Hsinchu, but after waiting for three hours without being able to buy it, I left. If you have to wait an hour and still can’t get it, it may be better to skip it. While the strawberries in the dish are delicious, they are not whole. Also, if you’re not a fan of elderflower choux pastry, you might want to skip this, as there is quite a bit of custard. If you’re worried about it being too rich, you might want to share one between two people.
