AI Spot Summary
The taro ball is firm, has a rich milk flavor but is quite sweet, which can be overwhelming. The snow ice with taro cheese has a low sweetness but the taro flavor is not natural; however, the texture of the taro and tapioca underneath is excellent. It is suitable for those who love taro.

Basically, if you come to Keelung, you must visit this place, it’s right next to the Keelung Night Market. I bought the basic taro balls and the snow dessert recommended by a friend.
▪️Lian Zhen Taro Balls $60/4 pieces
I used to eat them for $45, but I haven't had them in a while. They taste solidly made with taro, with a strong milky flavor (I like the milkiness), but they are sweeter than I expected, so eating too many can be overwhelming. This version is bought directly at the counter.
▪️Large Snow Dessert $120
This is a combination of taro and sago. I haven’t tried this one before; the top layer has a taro pudding feel, with very low sweetness, and the taro flavor isn’t very natural. The bottom layer is a creamy taro with sago!! The bottom layer is super delicious, and I really liked it. This dessert also comes in smaller portions, but you have to buy five at a time, making it ideal for sharing.
Overall, for those who love taro, I really like this place, and there are many items to choose from, but I can't eat too much at once, plus taro shouldn't be stored for long, so I have to give up on some. Although this time it was sweeter than I expected, it’s still a store I want to visit when in Keelung.
