Taiwan 2019 - Apple About Pie 烤蘋果派的方法

During my recent 3D2N short trip to Taiwan, I managed to meet Debbie in Taipei on my last day of the trip! We have been talking about this precious one day for so long as it's really rare for me to visit her in Taiwan..haha! She told me that she has to bring me to this home dessert place called 烤蘋果派的方法 (Steps to bake an apple pie), the name is super cute! I didn't know this place is so hard to book until she told me, lol! 

So here are some information about this place:

-Reservation based, strictly no walk in

-Open for reservation on every 15th of the month, 9pm

-Slot available: 1-3pm and 3-3.30pm (2 groups of customers per slot)

-Reservation must be made on Facebook Page

-Dessert Choice: Homemade Apple Pie, Seasonal Dessert Platter (3 types of dessert) and Crepe Cake

-One dessert per person (you have to pre-order after your reservation is confirmed)

-No pets, no children under 12 yrs old

-Only accept reservation from 2-5 person

The owner will only release the date that she decided to open for reservation for that month few days before 15th of every month. Now this explain why this place is so hard to book! We were really lucky to be able to get the slot on the only day that I was at Taipei, haha! This place is located at the residential area in Da An District and the owner will open the gate for you after you ring the doorbell one time (yes, one time only).

The place is very very homey and the owner put a lot of efforts into those tiny details. It was literally entering into someone's house to have high-tea there, lol! Every corner is so pretty and photogenic I can't help but to keep pressing the shutter of my camera. 

We had the homemade apple pie and the seasonal dessert platters which consist of 3 different types of dessert according to the current season. This means that the owner change the menu every now and then to make sure you will always have new things to try when you visit again. The homemade apple pie is really delicious and comforting! The crust is so crispy, not too flaky, just the right amount and the filling is so generous with big chunks of apple which were slightly spiced with cinnamon, 吃了會有幸福的感覺！As for the dessert platter, we were given peach & blueberry jelly, mango and passion fruit cake and caramel banana cake tart. Everything is so nice especially the caramel banana cake tart!

Taiwan 2015 Cafe - 路地 氷の怪物

Before I continue my taiwan travelogue, I thought maybe I can do a quick post of this super cute shaved ice that we had in Taichung! We heard about this place from a taiwan variety show - Kang Xi Lai Le and straightaway it's on our to go cafe list..lol! This place is a bit hard to access but I ensure you the journey and travel time will be worth it. 

There are 5 options to choose from which are milk, matcha, black sesame, cocoa and plum and you get to choose 2 toppings to go with each shaved ice. They have such a wide selection of toppings that took us long enough to decide which to get. We ordered the popular choice which is matcha and black sesame, can't remember what are the exact toppings that we chose though..haha! You have to place your order and pay for it before you get the seat in the cafe. Oh, we ordered the sinful marshmallow toast as well because we happened to see it when we were paying at the counter..lol!

We couldn't hide our excitement when the staff served the shaved ice to us! OMG just look at how cute the shaved ice is?! Ok, you might think it's just shaved ice with two candy eyeballs on it but still IT'S CUTEEEE XDD Time to spam photos and we have to take the photos real quick because the shaved ice melt pretty fast..lol! 

I like both matcha and black sesame flavor but if you can only choose one flavor, I will say go for the black sesame!! It's really really nice, the flavor is very rich but not too intense and the texture is so smooth that you can't stop asking for more. Even my friend who is not a fan of black sesame love it too! Oh ya and the marshmallow toast was really yummy as well, so glad that we decided to order it! Imagine the melted marshmallow on top of the crispy and fluffy toast which consist of banana slices in between..omggg im drooling now already..hahahaha!

This has got to be my favourite cafe for the whole trip, definitely worth a try if you are visiting Taichung!

PARK & Sunday Folks

Settled our dinner at PARK that day because we wanted to go Sunday Folks for dessert afterwards, haha! We ordered spam chips, park chicken wings and their signature truffle mac n cheese to share~ The spam chips were super hard, make sure you have strong teeth if you want to order it. Chicken wings were not bad, not very oily and well fried. The highlight of the meal has got to be the truffle mac n cheese! The truffle smell was so strong and the macaroni was coated with cheese evenly, super sinful and fattening but we couldn't care less about the calories haha! I wouldn't say it was super fantastic but i thought it's worth a try if you love truffle.

Walked to Sunday Folks after dinner and we waited for half an hour to get a table, ok lah i waited one hour on my 1st visit! I have been to Sunday Folks for more than 3 times already so you know it's really good, except the waiting time..lol! We ordered 2 single waffle with earl grey lavender and pistachio soft serve. I always recommend my friends to order these 2 flavors if they are visiting this place because these 2 are my favorite, especially the earl grey lavender!! x)

Awesome catch up with this girl over satisfying dinner and dessert, more to come! :)

The Tiramisu Hero

This was quite some time ago, back in November 2014, lol! I heard about The Tiramisu Hero from a magazine (few years back haha!) and i love how they serve the tiramisu in a cute little jar. I first tried their tiramisu at one of the boutiques along Haji Lane and that was when they were still doing online ordering without a physical store/cafe. Decided to try out this place when i know they opened a physical cafe at Jalan Besar, about 10 mins walk from Lavender mrt!

Fell in love with the decor immediately when we entered the cafe, the interior design is one of the cutest i have ever seen! The walls and ceilings are full with the illustrations of Sir Antonio, the mascot of The Tiramisu Hero and there's even a giant Sir Antonio head on the wall for you to take picture, lol! And also i really love the super cute illustrated menu with the doodles of food and drinks..omg!

For the food, we ordered honey glazed wings ($7.90), aglio olio ($14.90) and thai spicy chicken mini pizza ($10.80) to share. You can totally give the wings a miss, aglio olio was pretty decent, not very fantastic and the portion is rather small but the mini pizza was really nice! On my 2nd visit to the cafe, i tried their bangers with mash potatoes and fresh pasta with truffle & sage. The bangers are not bad but the pasta has this very (super!) bitter taste with it, perhaps it's the sage. Checked with the service staff and according to them, it was the truffle that make the dish so bitter..hmm..ok..lol!

Of course we have to order their signature tiramisu for dessert after our meal, lol! We had a hard time choosing the flavour but we chose the original in the end hahaha! We ordered a dark chocolate lava cake ($12) to share as well. The tiramisu was good, not the best that i have tried but i really love how they package the tiramisu in the jar..hehe! Decided to bring back the jar and the service staff actually offered to give me a clean empty jar, yay!

Overall, i think it's worth a visit though the food there was hit or miss. On a side note, eva's coordinate on that day was coincidentally/perfectly matching with Sir Antonio..haha!!
