What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This Tainan dessert shop is celebrated for its silky, melt-in-your-mouth tofu pudding with a natural soy bean flavor. Many praise the generous portions and the charming antique Taiwanese atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a refreshing treat. However, some find the beancurd texture to be a bit rough rather than creamy.
"If this isn’t one of the best beancurd dessert, I don’t know what is! Try the usual flair like red bean or pearl with lemon, or if you like a thicker taste, with fresh milk! Fancy a little more flavor? Try the black beancurd, it’s firmer but also, tastier. This is my go to place for desserts whenever I am back in Tainan."

"Pretty awesome Tofu dessert shop close to the famous Anpin treehouse tourist attraction, the tofu was soft with natural soy bean flavor, and the toppings were cooked nicely, not overly sweet which was another plus!"

"The bean custard is kinda hard. It is cut in chunks and not thin layers. Taste is just so so. Nothing special. Place is spacious"
