In an era where cakes and desserts are constantly evolving,

One can’t help but yearn for the most simple and unpretentious traditional flavors~

This time, driven by a craving, my friend and I drove to Keelung without any particular destination in mind.

I simply queued up to buy mung bean cakes and pineapple pastries, and then bid farewell to Keelung. XD

After work, when I passed by Saint Mary’s, I happened to encounter a 20% off deal on Starry Sky? Or is it Starlight price?

So, I decided to buy all three flavors of cake sandwiches from the shelf to try at home.

In Taichung, the famously delicious queue cookies are not only available at the numerous branches of Short-legged Deer, but also from those that have made a successful comeback from the United States to Taiwan. #TT.luna’s French-style monkey cookies, with their rich, crumbly, and melt-in-your-mouth texture, have captured the hearts of foodies and have been so delicious that they’ve sold out all the way to Hong Kong! They’ve also opened two branches in Taichung, namely the Dadun branch and the Zhongxing branch. In 2021, T.luna’s cocoa-flavored French-style monkey cookies and the hidden version of high mountain tea flavor won the Michelin “iTQi Top Delicious Award” one-star and two-star awards in the food industry! If you love rich, crumbly handmade cookies, you really shouldn’t miss out!

This time, we visited the very popular hipster restaurant “ChungChing Store” located near Shandao Temple in Taipei.

The bento box feels quite substantial when picked up.

The packaging container is designed with a “dry-wet separation” feature, where the meat and vegetables are separated from the rice.

The moment you lift the lid and first lay eyes on the rice, both the top and bottom layers,

My roommate ordered a delicious shrimp rice dish brimming with succulent shrimp, and my whiskey-infused meat sauce was continuously wafting a tantalizing aroma.

Whether it’s vegetables, meat, or rice in a bento box

The dish as a whole is very well-rounded in terms of color, aroma, and taste~

People in Taichung should have heard of the name Weisheng foods, right?
Located in Dajia, Taichung, this is a time-honored specialty store for pork floss and dried meat.
From a single shoulder pole in 1910, to a food factory, and then to the wholesale market.
A legacy of delicious flavors passed down through generations, with an incredibly wide variety of choices.
I’ve noticed that many people online choose their meat products as gifts.
After eating this time, it truly tasted like a mouthful of memories!

This is probably the most unique mooncake gift box I’ve ever received🥰
This time, Caboti has joined hands with Kuan Ting Aesthetics, Gao Wu Ji, and Mr. Manners.
We have planned these one hundred “giveaway only, not for sale” limited edition gift boxes 🥺.
This gift box is not available for purchase, but the official website has launched three other gift boxes🎁.
Those interested can check it out online!

The sight of these robust and hearty egg yolk pastries will make your mouth water at first glance.
The preparation of the pastry, filling, and salted egg yolk all deviate from traditional methods.

Crafted with French fermented unsalted butter, the crust is delightfully milky without being overly rich.
Without compromising on taste, it also takes health into consideration.

During the pandemic, staying at home, enjoying the air conditioning while indulging in a hot pot meal, is also a delightful choice.

I ordered the double set meal from Stone Two Hotpot: the Duo Pork Feast. I chose the Stone Pot for the soup base, all for a price of $529.

Recently, I ordered takeout from the official website of Shi Er Guo. With a purchase of raw food over $499, they give away a “We’ll Get Through This Together” meal box, a collaboration between Shi Er Guo and Hokto. The box contains mushrooms, tofu, and slices of meat, and the portion is quite generous! The promotion runs until September 30th, with a limit of 130,000 boxes. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

I was initially worried that the milk jam would make the shredded meat taste too sweet and greasy. But when I took a bite, I was surprised to find it incredibly layered! Upon first taste, you’re greeted with a crispy outer layer😋 Then, the smooth and delicate almond milk jam is truly impressive👏🏻 Finally, the salty aroma of the shredded chicken perfectly enriches the whole pie🥮.
