Hello, fellow travel lovers!
A classic Taiwanese souvenir, pineapple cake.
A friend who traveled to Taiwan gave me two types of pineapple cakes and said, "Try comparing these!" What an amazing mission! 😆 With my sweet tooth fully activated, I’ll savor them and share my report!
🍍 Li Ji Bakery "Pineapple Cake"
First, let's start with the long-established Li Ji Bakery.
✅ Strong pineapple flavor! The tartness and aroma are distinct, making it a fruity delight.
✅ The filling has a vibrant yellow color, making it visually appealing.
✅ However, there might be a slight artificial taste.
✅ The outer crust has a mild buttery flavor and is more crisp than moist.
Recommended for those who love a fruity experience!
🍍 Hotel Okura's Pineapple Cake
✅ Rich buttery aroma! The outer crust is absolutely delicious.
✅ The filling has a deep amber color and is generously packed.
✅ The pineapple's tartness is mild, with a gentle sweetness as its key feature.
✅ A refined taste that showcases the quality of the ingredients!
Perfect for those who love a rich, well-baked pastry experience!
💡 Results Announcement!
For a strong pineapple flavor, go with Li Ji Bakery; for a rich buttery aroma and a luxurious feel, Hotel Okura is the winner.
My pick goes to Hotel Okura! The balance between the moist crust and rich filling was simply perfect.
Which one would you choose?
Be sure to try both when you visit Taiwan!
The journey continues... Wishing you all a wonderful trip! – TabiJun
